Hi Jim, thanks for the reply! By NVRAM, do you mean the BIOS NVRAM? Is there any way to access it without possibly trashing the BIOS?
I did get in touch with Acer's customer support, who were not so helpful. At first they told me it must be a hardware issue, which of course I was suspicious of. Then after I figured out the speakers *do* work under Linux, ignoring the BIOS settings, they said that I would still have to send it to them to diagnose the problems. I told them I had applied the latest BIOS updates, and they admonished me that updating the BIOS was risky and dangerous (even with the official Acer images???). So, not so useful :-p. But you can read the whole back-and-forth on the incident by clicking here: http://acer.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/acer.cfg/php/enduser/myq_idp.php?p_iid=730494&p_created=1255133171&p_sid=5q23S_Kj&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=&p_li=&p_page=1&p_allorg=1&p_sort_by=&p_gridsort=&p_row_cnt=1%2C1&p_prods=&p_cats=&p_pv=&p_cv= and then entering the email address dlen...@gmail.com Two days ago, they released another BIOS update and I was hoping that would fix the problem... but it doesn't. If the issue is in the NVRAM, I don't understand why BIOS updates don't fix it, since they seem to erase all the other BIOS setting stored in NVRAM. So, weird bug... if I could figure out how to read the NVRAM settings and tweak them into a format that snd_hda_intel could use, I could probably fix it. -- no sound from integrated speakers (Realtek ALC269, snd-hda-intel driver) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
