I have a VPCS111FM as well. I can confirm that kernel 2.6.33-rc8 or newest alsa-drivers 1.0.22.1 fix the issue (I'm testing out Lucid A2 after having a working Gentoo install, so I spent time debugging this).
Also, there's a project here, http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/ which has some related stuff. Here's a patch against 2.6.32.8 to enable the audio output: http://vaio-f11-linux.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=2370601580639861372&name=realtek-pcid.patch Here's a patch to enable the microphone: http://vaio-f11-linux.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=1581767927075835598&name=enable-internal-microphone.patch However, the microphone patch is "suboptimal". Please see the bug reporter's discussion with an alsa dev here: http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/wiki/EnableMicrophone ... basically, right now, it's either microphone or line-in, until the alsa devs do a real fix/hack to switch the input. For me, microphone only is a better happy default. If we can get this fixed, I think I might stay with Ubuntu. :-) -- [Realtek ID 275] No audio Sony VAIO VPCs111FM Lucid A2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525149 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
