Dear Experts
I have been unsuccessful getting the sound to work on a HP Mobile
Workstation HP 8540w.
Here's a brief rundown of where I am
I did a clean new install of Centos 5.6 from DVD, using the Gnome
Desktop option and no optional modules.
I enabled the firewall, but disabled SELINUX.
I installed three files from elrepo to make the wireless adaptor
work, and specified the video adaptor using the Gnome -> System ->
Preferences -> Display panel.
I ran "yum update" until all updates were completed, rebooted system
because the Kernel changed.
The system now works -- all of the following appear to function properly:
- USB connections
- wireless
- ethernet
- pointer-stick for the mouse
- the display at its "natural" resolution (1920x1200)
- An occassional beep does occur, proving that the PC speaker is connected.
However, I when I play any sound or movie file, I get no sound. I
know that the PC speaker produces low quality sound, but there should
be something.
I have experimented with the "Sound" setup, but none of the options
seem to produce good results.
Is there some special driver or option I need?
Any assistance or direction would be appreciated.
David
