Hi, I own a HP nx9005 laptop which comes with the Ali5451 core onboard. The core itself works perfectly in linux with either Trident (from OSS/Free), snd_ali5451 (from ALSA) and the trident driver from OSS/Linux. However I have a port replicator that includes the sound plugs on it (Mic/Line In/Line Out and an additional SP/DIF out).
When I am playing music "undocked" everything is fine and I can hear the sound perfectly. As soon as I plug the laptop into the station with the lead plugged in it all goes quiet. No audio gets to the external speakers. If I unplug the cable from the station laptop audio is restored and I can still get audio from the port on the side of the laptop. The annoying thing is that OSS/Linux (the pay-for one off www.opensound.com) works and the audio comes out of the docking station when required. However the OSS/Free trident drivers and ALSA drivers don't. Neither module reports any errors that I can find. Any ideas anyone?
