first, which version are you using? try 1.0.3 if you have an older version. this problem happens because the pin used for the headphone formerly is being used for the line-out (so-called "true line-out") on your mobo. there is no sure way to detect this except for checking the pci ids. with ALSA driver 1.0.3, you can pass ac97_quirk=1 to fix this problem. if it works, please provide the output of lspci -nvv (only for class 0401) and the name of your mobo, so that this workaround is built in the driver.
