Yes I do. The same to speakers and headphones, which I prefer.
Debian, Kurumin and Basic Linux allow me to choose between speakers and
headphones, but Windows doesn't.

I believe the only difference is the impedance, which is lower for speakers
(8 ohms) and a little higher for headphones (32 ohms).
In theory, listening to headphones at 8 ohms would cut the treble
frequencies, but  this kind of perception is too difficult to the human
ears.
And in this case, the sound card circuitry would provide this change
automatically - also in theory.

And I'm also trying to help other people, but your dedication and kindness
are just fantastic!

It looks fine in text mode, but under X only    "_"s    and    "|"s    are
shown in a "white desert"
(however the word "quit" and the question mark (?) are shown in reverse).
As a provisory solution, I've printed that menu and I keep it near the
monitor screen.
I'll try to edit it somehow and tell you what I've got.

Thanks.
