The above shows you have your laptop docked. When docked the on board speakers are usually disconnected. > No output about the speakers.

So why the difference? > > Thanks > Robin It's been a very long time since I docked a laptop and my memory is not very reliable, but I recall fixing a similar problem by selecting a different output device. I don't know if you can do this from alsamixer, but you should be able to do it from pulseaudio, or from whatever GUI your desktop provides for managing audio devices. Switch over from headphones/docking station to speakers and you should be OK. -- Regards, Mick
