Before I ramble on, could you open alsamixer on the CLI, and confirm
that the chipset is AD1981.
The chipset is AD1981.
Looking at model options for AD1981 with alsa driver 1.0.15, I see:
> basic 3-jack (default)
> hp HP nx6320 thinkpad
Lenovo Thinkpad T60/X60/Z60
> toshiba Toshiba U205
Where does one find such information?
These options are unlikely to work with the 1.0.12rc1, but your
welcome to try the one for the thinkpad.
My version is 1.0.13.
Su to root on the CLI,Konsole, or Terminal. Navigate to
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, and at the bottom of the alsa-base file
add the following line.
options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad
Save the changes, and reboot.
I suggested the option above from the alsa driver 1.0.15, so this may
not change anything for you, and you may have to upgrade the alsa
driver, but lets see how this goes.
Nigel.
I check this now.
Thanks a lot.
Sam
