Although i have not tried that way, Im sure the cabe is connected to
the motherboard well, because if I boot into windows xp, it will work
as the back panel's. But, I usually use debian, not xp.




Please keep this thread on the list, OK? There's no need to post me
personally, I'm subscribed to the list.


Now, back to the problem. I guess what you said rules out a hardware
problem. Still, using a live CD or two would show us whether this is a
problem related to Debian or to Linux in general.


If the former, the new Debian coming out soon (Squeeze) could solve it
for you.


If the latter, I can only add these 2 cents: on my desktop machine with
an Intel motherboard, the front audio headers require special
(Windows-only, of course) software to fully work. They do work per se,
but if you want to enable rear jack muting (so that your main speakers
get muted when you plug in the headphones in the front audio jack), you
have to install Windows, and load a special Windows driver.


<rant>
What I mean to say is, the industry is packed-full of non-standard,
obfuscated and ill-intentioned tricks and quirks, designed so as to
give the MS operating system a competitive edge. For example, shipping
*only* Windows drivers with the hardware is one such strategy. Or, in
many laptops ACPI is purposely not designed so as to follow the
standard, but so as to be Microsoft-compatible. Somebody or something
is apparently blackmailing hardware vendors so badly that they'd sooner
break the standard than their compatibility with Windows.

Ooops, that's a disinformation; I mixed up two distinct features from
two distinct motherboards and managed to make a compete mess. The above
motherboard *does not require Windows* for the said functionality to
work, it just requires a *special chassis* with custom cabling.


Sorry about the disinformation.

Have you tried this one? Seems to me the very first thing to try.

Now, I used a Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD to try, but, the problem is the same:
back output is ok, but no front output.
