On 3/10/2007 at 23:05 Zachary Kline said Hi, I admit there are probably better forums to adk this question. However, I've tried looking for answers and come up with a blank. I use one of those Intel Centrino mobile laptops, an HP DV2050 to be exact. This comes with an 'High Definition Intel' sound card, which Alsa supports...Up to a point. For whatever reason, I can't mix sounds with the provided drivers. At all. I can't play music, or listen to streaming radio, or anything along those lines. But the far stranger problem is what happens when I boot my machine into Linux: it has a duel boot setup. I use headphones for software speech. The problem is that when I plug them in, they work, but the sound also comes out of internal laptop speakers. Funny thing is, when I boot into Windows first, and without shutting down the machine fully boot into Linux, I get a similar problem: only this time, speech comes out of headphones only, and no speakers. So... I guess I was wondering if anyone, anyone at all, has had this problem, and what they've done about it? Thanks, Zack. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
