Linux outputs sound on line INPUT jack - Intel DG45ID

Sat Oct 11 23:08:13 UTC 2008

A number of newer motherboards detect the insertion of audio
connectors into their jacks.  A Windows popup then asks the user
WHAT was plugged in, and makes the appropriate connection
in the audio chip.

Linux does not seem to respond to an audio cable plugged in to the
line input connector.  None of the alsa utilities I could find and run
addressed this issue.

Linux should initialize the audio hardware so input jacks work as input
jacks.
