I am not a native speaker, sorry. I did all I can. It seems that a lot of new systems now have multiple sound outputs (because they use HDA) so there needs to be some way to elect a default sound output (override by sysctl of course :) eg selecting the HDMI output is pointless if there is no HDMI link active (can you detect HDMI status?) Maybe devd can be fed events in some way? I don't know if it's possible but if the HDA driver could detect jack status (ie if something is plugged in) then it would be fairly straightforward to write a script to switch output when the user plugged in headphones. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
