| * The volume applet doesn't change the volume of the headphone. It's necessary to use alsamixer and modify the "headphone" value. This happens because there isn't a "master" item in alsamixer, only "front" and "headphone". The applet (and alsamixer) changes only "front". I think it's the same bug described here: [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/97530 97530]. | * The volume applet doesn't change the volume of the headphone.

Current Issues
- Sound:
The volume applet doesn't change the volume of the headphone. It's necessary to use alsamixer and modify the "headphone" volume. This happens because there isn't a "master" volume in alsamixer, only "front" and "headphone". The applet (and alsamixer) changes only "front". The solution to this problem is to configure gnome to change the "front" and "headphone" volumes at the same time. This can be done selecting "headphone" and "front" under "Default Mixer Tracks" in Sound Preferences (System -> Preferences -> Sound).
- Function and other keys issues:
The Bluetooth led doesn't work when switching the device on/off through the keys [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/105924 105924]. There isn't a file under /proc/acpi/asus/ to switch on/off the bluetooth led [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/105935 105935].
The Fn+F2 key doesn't swicth off the wifi device [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/105929 105929].
This laptop model isn't currently supported by the module "asus-acpi" [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/105935 105935], and this is the reason for the bluetooth issue.
