Fedora 17 - Only headphones have sound

[LineA]

I did a fresh install of F17 and discovered that only the headphones (front green jack) play sound. I am unable to play sound using the speakers (rear green jack).

I have an Asus P5Q motherboard and I'm using the onboard sound.

Under Sound Setting -> Output I see two possibilities "Analog Ouput" and "Analog Headphones" but both options only play sound through the front jack when I do a speaker test, nothing happens using the rear jack. Note that I do unplug the fron jack when testing the rear speakers.

"Analog Stereo Duplex" is selected under the Hardware tab when running these speaker tests. I tried other optins, but nothing seems to produce a different result.

All sound works perfectly on the front jack (Rhytmbox, VLC, web stuff, etc.) I just wish that when I unplug the headset, the speakers would kick in.

Also note, this is not an upgrade to F17, this is a "fresh" install - not sure if that makes a difference.


Thanks in advance for any help!

UPDATE: When I use alsamixer and disable auto-muting the speakers work. Note that I DO NOT have the front headphones plugged in. Seems that the system thinks that the headphones are always lugged in no matter what.

Under the Sound settings -> Ouput, when I select "Analog Headphones" now the sound from the speakers is louder and no sound comes from the Headset. When I select "Analog Ouput" sound comes from both Headphones and speakers simultaneously.

Oh well, I can live with it.

same here
after updating to kernel 3.3.7 or the later ones, the speakers work no more.
but when I use the headphones, they do work.
so I always boot the kernel 3.3.4, because it's the only kernel that the sound works on.
the exact same problem appears on ubuntu when upgrading the kernel
