I sadly noticed that no one has replied neither saying "you should not have buyed such bulky laptop" or "oh, sweetie, let's see what can be done for you". I'm still without sound, and still can't see where to look for solutions. Driver developers, I can't send my laptop in to you to explore the weirdness of the snd-hda-intel/packardbell, but I can send you an invite to join a ssh session pointing directly to my linuxbox. Is it feasible? In april, when I will be finally graduated, and when I will reinstall Ubuntu (format for Feisty!) there will be a peep hole in my firewall to let some serious developer investigate my laptop. Beware, hacker out there, my box will be perfectly clean, with no cc numbers, passwords or something and after the session I'll format the hd again, to ensure there's no harming code left on my laptux. .png ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
