Problem with headset and alsamixer
Hi!

Recently my N900 have started to not recognize the normal Nokia headset any more. Other headphones or line-in connections are still working, so it might be a problem with the headset. After several retries (up to 10 minutes) it finally recognizes it again.

This is obviously very annoying. So I've started to play around with alsamixer -c0 but didn't figure out what settings have to be changed exactly to switch from speaker to headset. The only result was that the mic of the headset has stopped working.

So my two questions are:
1. Is there any possibility to switch manually between speaker and headset by a script or something?
2. What are the default alsamixer settings for the headset?

Regards,
Oleg

Maybe it's related to this bug:

Thanks for the hint and yes, maybe it is related. But now I bought a brand new
headset and still suffer from the same problem. As I see know way to get rid
of this bug right now, I need to know two things.

1.) Is there any shortcut, script or way to create such a script to set all
the settings to alsamixer manually that normally are done automatically when a
headset is plugged in?

2.) Can anybody send me the default settings of his/her N900's alsamixer when
a headset is plugged in?

Regards,
Oleg
