I recently installed opensuse 11.1 on my laptop and for the most part I am very impressed. There is only one thing holding me back from changing my development platform from windows to Linux. That thing is that there is no sound on my laptop when its in its docking station. The sound does seem to work fine when I’m on battery power.
More specifically, I am testing the sound with:
speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav
I don’t get any errors, just no sound when powered via the docking station. If I turn the power off (running on batteries),the sound comes back.
I have tried the following options, and none fix the problem.
ALC260
hp
hp-3013
hp-dc7600
fujitsu
acer
will
replacer
basic
I restated the sound system between settings by logging in and out. I assume that this worked, although I’m sure there is a better way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt
