Description of problem:
I have an Acer TravelMmate 3260 laptop. It has a sound card that uses
snd_intel_hda. The problem is, unlike windows, sound from speakers is not
automatically muted when I insert the headphone in the jack. This feature is
perfectly working on Arch Linux, but not on Ubuntu Feisty. I think this implies
that the driver for my sound card has been updated, but not synced in the fedora
repos. I am writing this from the F8Test2 7.91 live cd for gnome. In ubuntu as
well as in fedora by default when I start alsamixer I get channels like
Surround, Center, LFE, Front etc .. In arch where headphone automute is working,
I get just Headphone, PCM and Front (of course the Mic etc are always there).
From the live cd, I unloaded snd_hda_intel, and reloaded it by passing the
argument "modprobe snd_hda_intel model=auto". After that when I run alsamixer I
get the same channels as Arch Linux, yet headphone automute is not working.

Please find all the info for the laptop I have attached here -

If I still need to attach any more info, or repaste the info from within fedora
live cd, please tell me, I'll be glad to do so. It'll be great to see sound in
fedora working out of box without any config on my laptop. Thanks !
