I also have a 1420n and was experiencing intermittent problems with sound (it would work in about 1 out of every 5 boots). I am running latest Jaunty as of around 2009-04-20 9:45am PST.
I found that the following fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/alsa- utils/+bug/315809/comments/7 to the file /usr/share/alsa/init/00main results in sound working for 100% of cold boots. I am unable to get any sound at all after a suspend/resume though. -- No sound in Dell Inspiron 1420 in Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363892 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
