Hi,all
I have recently installed Slackware 12 in my new notebook,and
have some issues .
1, some function keys not works
for example,I use Fn + F5 to increase the volume and Fn + F7 to
increase the light of LED in Windows,but these keys not work in
Slackware 12.
How can I make these keys work?
2, speaker and headphone-microphone work simultaneously.
In Windows,the speaker dont sound when the headphone plug in.
But in Slackware,when I insert the headphone into the notebook,
both the speaker and the headphone make sound.
How can I make the speaker not sound when I insert the headphone?
What kind of notebook do you have? That info is necessary to provide appropriate and accurate suggestions. This is also necessary to fix the sound issue.
It sounds like a laptop, because I have Fn keys on my laptop too. It is a $ony laptop, so the only way to make the Fn keys work is with the 'sonypi' module.
Headphone's max and pcm 0,both speaker and headphone are not sound,
increase pcm ,then both speaker and headphone make sound
In Windows when insert headphone into the laptop , speaker not sound and headphone sound..
I had problems with my Slackware 11 installation and that Card.
I had to download, compile and install the "new" ALSA driver (i think it was the 1.0.14rc3 at that time) and Alsa-lib! That worked like a charm!
I compiled the Driver with the options:
./configure --with-oss=yes --with-cards=hda-intel
make
make install
but now with a fresh install of slackware 12.0 i have no problems or whatsoever with my Sound Card... thats weird :P
