Re: Dell D810 Laptop
found the solution:
The issue was that by default alsa outputs on the digital output of the d/port. if you go
into alsamixer and turn down "IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA" all the way, and make
sure that "IEC958" is not muted, the analog port will work.
and this:
Dell D610 Laptop in Feisty
In Feisty Fawn, I had to go into Volume Control (by clicking the volume icon in the
status area of the desktop), select Preferences, check the box next to IEC958, and then I
got a tab "Switches" where I could check a box next to IEC958.
This seems to be working OK now without any mixer tweaking on the F11
Beta Snapshot. Can anyone else confirm? I don't think there was bug
report about it.
