Re: No Sound from CD but DVD/MP3 sound is fine
Hi,
goobox does indeed work very well. I am a bit surprised though. The
sound card Intel High Definition Audio (ICH7 chipset) is an "onboard"
sound card. So I don't see why there should be this issue of "cabling".
Should I talk to Dell support ? I would like to avoid it because the
first thing I did after I got the laptop was to delete WindowsXP. And
I am pretty sure the first thing they will tell me when I report my
problem is that they don't support linux (essentially blaming the
problem on linux).
sincerely
b thomas
