In the meantime, you can use something like this:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">on the 7970's they have external mic and speaker jacks.</span></p>
</div>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; color: black;">in CM 4.1 I enabled them throught user pref / audio pref and they
worked. I'm trying another 7970 in CM 6.1 and the same audio pref but he
speaker is grayed out with internal. Can you no longer use the external
jacks or is it a load issue? I'm running 8.4.1sr2s</span></p>
