Ooh, that's a great idea.  I updated, but it didn't help.

Forgot to check the version, but dmidecode now reports BIOS 2.38 and
Firmware 1.8.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Interesting - my T61 has a functioning mute button.

I think you need to update your BIOS.  I got this from the Lenovo 
ChangLog for the T61 BIOS.


- (Fix) (ThinkPad T61/T61p only) Volume and mute buttons on the
keyboard do not work on Linux.

That was in version 1.26-1.06.  They're much beyond that now.

Re: T61 mute button (was Re: T61 no sound with Fedora 11)

[Yu Lex]

I boot into live CD fedora 11 again, and it turns out both my headphone and
speaker work well(actually even the mute button is ok). but there is still
no sound when booting into my HDD F11.

And I find something is different between those two os. Run "alsamixer -c0"
in HDD F11, I see configuration options like:
Master Headphon SpeakerPCM  MicMic Boos  S/PDIF  S/PDIF D ...
Internal

while in live CD F11, I could see configuration options like:
Master  Headphon  PCM   Mic  Mic Boos   IEC958  IEC958 D IEC958 P ...
Speaker

The configuration options' sequence is different( for example *Speak*) ,
IEC958 disappear and S/PDIF is new.

Has it to do with "no sound" issue? For example some inappropriate update?
