With the netbooks you can switch the sound output from the headphones to the built in speaker, you need to go to the speaker properties to do this, it does not happen automatically. To me this is a useful feature, as it gives the user more control. However this is probably down to the OS being used, so Mint or Debian may behave differently. Paul > > Then the laptop.
