Although primarily meant for power users, it focuses on simplicity: Just = select your codec, then select which pins you want to override and what = you want them to override to: Headphones, Line Out, Mic, Line In, and so = on. There are buttons for trying it out right away, and for making your = override the boot-time default. And of course, a button for removing all = overrides in case things did not go as planned. Consider it beta quality for now, and it=92s one of those "won=92t work for = everyone" programs, but that=92s mostly due to hardware and driver = limitations. If you're running Ubuntu 11.10: You can install it by adding ppa:diwic/hda [1] and then installing the = hda-jack-retask package. Start it by running =93hda-jack-retask=94 in a = terminal. Or from the command line: sudo add-ppa-repository ppa:diwic/hda sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install hda-jack-retask hda-jack-retask & If you're running something else: 1) download the source tarball [2] 2) Ensure you have a build environment (gcc, make, sed, etc), gtk3 = (and glib) development headers, and the "gksu" application all are = installed. On debian platforms, these packages are known as = "build-essential", "libgtk-3-dev" and "gksu". 3) make 4) ./hda-jack-retask & Enjoy!
