A common issue I find with Linux is sound. The latest bump is when I installed openSUSE 11.1 on my HP M9351 Desktop, to be fair, it’s not a show stopper but infinitely annoying. Basically, I cannot play sound only through the headphones, and instead it continues playing via speakers plus headphones and there is no ability (even via kmix) to only play through headphones. I guess this must be related to jack sensing for the audio chipset I have ALC888S from Realtek. I think I’ve tried everything even updating ALSA to latest unstable and using the drivers from Realtek website, it probably doesn’t help that I’m not familiar in general with ALSA so cannot even be sure I’m doing the right thing, at least though I am getting sound :)
