Speakers not muting when headphones are plugged in

[sleepee]

hello all. well, i'm having a problem that i seem to have every time i upgrade. i always do a fresh install of every upgrade to ubuntu, and i always get this jack sensing problem. i'd always have to fix it by ugrading alsa using the alsa upgrade script that's in one of the threads around here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...10#post6589810 anyway, the problem is, i'm not using ubuntu this time. i decided to see what all the fuss is about linux mint and i installed mint 10 instead. being based on ubuntu, it wasn't a surprise that i get this audio problem, but for some reason, i'm getting an error upgrading alsa when i get to the compiling part, i get an error that says

*************************************************************************** *  Alsa packages(drivers/lib/util/firmware/oss) will be compiled ***************************************************************************  *************************************************************************** *  Prepare for compilation and installation... ***************************************************************************  *************************************************************************** *  alsa-driver-1.0.23  not found ***************************************************************************

weird thing is, i checked in synaptic and the installed version of alsa is 1.0.23 so i'd be reinstalling the same version.. anyway, i'm not that worried about the alsa upgrade not working since i don't really care to have the latest and greatest alsa drivers. all i really would like is for my speakers to mute whenever i plug in my headphones. if anybody knows of another way to do this, i'd greatly appreciate this. btw, i have an laptop HP dv-7 3080 and i'm not sure if this is needed or not, but i'll post up this info as well my aplay output:

any help is appreciated. thanks

never mind... i had forgotten what i had done to fix this the last time... after upgrading alsa to the latest version, i also had to addd these lines to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file

 options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5 options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

reboot and everything's fixed. i have bad memory. lol!
