[TriLUG] Problems with T42 laptop and Kubuntu

[Brian Blater]

Setting up my IBM T42 laptop with linux and having a problem with sound.
I've tried installing Kubuntu 6.10 and I get no sound output. You can see it
is playing the mp3 or wav file but no sound. I tried installing SUSE 10.1 or
even using a Knoppix 5.0.1 disk and same senario. Just to make sure the
hardware was ok I reinstall winxp and I have sound. So, is this a driver
issue or am I just missing something in the setup? Anybody else seen these
issues with a T42? What can I do to get the sound working.

Thanks for your help.
