Not too many details for this one, sadly. Totem, etc., only output audio through the line-out (headphone) jack.

Is there another FAQ I'm missing?
A bit of a background on this system: freshly installed 7.2-RELEASE a week ago, upgraded the OS to -STABLE and the ports to the latest as of Saturday. The computer is a Thinkpad T500.
I think this probably should be reported to the mobile or sound people. I have the same problem with the HDA sound card in my MacBook Pro. The internal speakers do not work, but headphones do.
They are probably showing up as different codecs... In which case you have to either select the correct pcmX device or set hw.snd.default_unit=X to the correct codec. Gnome currently doesn't seem to have the ability to deal with multiple codecs for different outputs, which kinda sucks...
Most of my boxes have (desktop boards) have different hda codecs for front panel, rear, digital and HDMI ports.
Ooh, thanks. Now I remember you talking about that before. I'll give that a shot on my MacBook.
