Yeah, same problem here. I have a Dell E6600 with the E-Port docking station and it behaves the same way. The sound comes from the internal speakers unless the external speakers are plugged in directly to the laptop. I am using Jaunty.
"cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec" outputs the following Codec: IDT 92HD71B7X Codec: Intel G45 DEVCTG -- Audio not working on Dell E-Port docking station in Jaunty (9.04); was OK in 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387866 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
