The problem is that there is no sound. There is a little trick that some people have suggested: open alsamixer and set Head Phone Jack Sense and Line Jack Sense to 'Mute'. But that hasn't made a different. system-config-soundcard has detected the card but when I click the 'Play Test Sound' button, there is only silence. Volume level is about 3/4 up. I read somewhere that this is an unsolved issue in Thinkpads. Another unsolved issue seems to be, that I can't get the machine to sleep. It worked once, only once, but when I woke it up again, it went to shut itself down (clean). This is one area where I must say, Apple did a great job with OS X and their Powerbooks. My powerbook goes to sleep within less than a second and wake up is instant. Best regards, Chris PS. Trying sound from KDE instead of GNOME - same (no) result.
