Hi,

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 and recently updated to SuSe Linux 9.2 My problem is that the sound is not properly working. This is what I can say:

I use a Dell 8600 together with a Dell Docking Station. I have two external usb drives, a second monitor, and a mouse+keyboard all hooked up the docking station. Also, I have a speaker system connected to the audio port.

When I used SusE 9.1 everything worked fine.

When I installed 9.2, everything during the installation went fine (I even did it twice) - however, the sound does not play through the headphone jack of the docking station, nor does it play through the headphone jack of the laptop.

Here is the weird bit: If I unplug the speakers from the headphone jack, the sound works (through the laptop speakers). The sound will not work through the speakers if I (a) plug it directly into the laptop headphone jack, or (b) if I plug it into the docking station headphone jack.

When I run in windows, the sound works as it should (through the headphone jack as well as the laptop speakers).

I imagine I must have a conflict of some sort, but I am not very versed in Linux. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

- Marcos
