Hi Raymond, sorry about that, I thought I had posted it in the other thread. Please see attached.
The laptop has 5.1 physical speakers onboard, which I have test and there is some kind of unusual 7.1 output facility (I have never tried it) which involves using a large number of the output-jacks in some unholy combination :-) There are four 3.5mm jacks for hdfon/mic/spdif/LineOut on the righthand side of the laptop and there is some audio-processing-chipset on the MXM-physical-format videocard, used for hdmi-related audio-out (there is an hdmi-out jack on the lefthand side of the laptop). I have also never tested this. ** Attachment added: "alsa-info from prior to workaround-script execution" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1236965/+attachment/3867946/+files/alsaInfoWhenAudioPlaybackFailing.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236965 Title: pulseaudio does not recognize internal speakers [P180HMx, Realtek ALC892, Speaker, Internal] volume slider problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1236965/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
