BTW, could you try the latest alsa-driver-kmp again? I'd like to know whether the line-out pin detection actually works with the docking station.
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound #STAC92HD71B*
Short Answer: Yes and No. Detection works only after plugging and unplugging headphones. Long Answer: First, I am not sure which model option you want me to try. I currently use dell-m4-1, since I need the built-in mic and Skype for work. However, I guessed that you rather want me to use dell-m4-2, to which I refer in this reply: options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-2 position_fix=2 options snd slots=snd-hda-intel # u1Nb.ztWiP1hTtl5:82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.20-git20090803. Compiled on Aug 3 2009 for kernel 2.6.27.25-0.1-default (SMP).
* I rebooted with nothing plugged in and heard sound from the built-in speakers. * I plugged in the external speakers to the docking station, and both were active then. * I plugged in headphones into the laptop and only they worked. * Upon unplugging the headphones, only the external speakers (docking station) worked. * Unplugging the external speakers (ie everything unplugged): no sound at all * Plugging in the headphones to the laptop and unplugging them reactivated the built-in speakers. So the docking station jack detection seems to work somehow, but is only taken into account after also plugging and unplugging of headphones. (PS: Please let me know if I should test things with dell-m4-1 as well. Note that I will not have access to my docking station for two week from Friday onwards, since I am going on a business trip with the laptop only.) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
