Ubuntu 11.10, Headphone and speaker playing simultaneously

[ashraf_zmn]

I know it has been a hot topic for a long time and a lot of solution is out there. But for me nothing worked

Ubuntu 11.10

Manufacturer : ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
Product Name : K50IJ
Codec : VIA VT1708S

And when the headphone is plugged the sound gets muted :S
Could any body have a clue??

I discovered this solution independently and confirm that it works:

On Asus K43S it just worked, I was able to hibernate and resume. However, upon each action the splash screen shows an error that goes like echi error for the devices

0000:00:1a.0
0000:00:1d.0

But I think it is just a negligible warning anyways .
