Hey all. I have a dell vostro 1710 laptop running hardy. The sound has never worked perfectly on this model. The built in mic doesn't work but a mic plugged into the jack works. The speakers sound terrible and they are not loud enough. The sound also dies frequently especially I am on youtube a lot (could be due to a flash/firefox problem too). I have to restart the alsa service in order to get it going again. Until recently I was running the option model=dell-m42 but a recent kernel upgrade broke that. I fiddled with some more options and settled on model=dell. I don't know if any of these problems will be solved by upgrading ubuntu but I wanted to report the problems anyway. I have been googling around I can't see anybody else using a vostro 1710 with linux. The alsa information is here. http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a27b1377d3d2f472364ead7a04a1db7360affecd _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
