Hmm... Ubuntu (tried against 8.10 x64, 9.04 i386 liveCD & x64) (and Fedora 10 x64) have problems with sound with my recent HP DV4-1222NR laptop. I suspect my audio setup is similar to E. Johnson's.
Problem is with alsa-driver. When I compile from source it works, until the kernel changes.
Well, that's the nature of an unstable kernel API :P
Even then the mute & volume "smart keys" do not have the desired effect, so I have to use the icon or menu. Gnome keyboard shortcuts gui is poorly documented - there is no man page, no indication what config file gnome-keybinding-properties corresponds to.
How do I change the action "volume mute" to affect the proper device?
There are lots of ways to do that. Gnome and KDE are a bit mystical (and don't work). Google for "evtest", which is a program that can look at a file in /dev/input/ and tell you what key/keycode/etc was pressed. Also, xev might be enough for you to find out what key it is, and map that into whatever application you use.

Sound is fine. Ubuntu's sound problems are due to pulseaudio (most of the time)

How is the sound on the -29 kernel? Sound has been giving me fits on the various ubuntu kernels since April 08.
I need headset to work; don't have or use external speakers.
Mobo = ASUS M3A78-Cm, which has Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
Even if not happy, if I had to I could put up with the USB disconnect thing, but headset dysfunction would be unacceptable.

Okay. great. Will try the 28 kernel and check back in next week with results.
2.6.28 is not a great release. Fedora skipped over it and went right to 2.6.29.1 which is the latest stable kernel. _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
