I'm very happy with my Gluglug X60. And it works very well. Sadly, although
the initial mails were very quickly replied to, my last set of questions went
unanswered. So I am going to ask you, as I run Trisquel.
From the online documentation[1] the laptop known as ThinkPad X60 has:
Chipset is
Pop open a terminal and input

Make sure the channels aren't muted, especially Master. Marking MM at the
bottom of a slider stands for channel muted, press m to toggle. Of course
also check the volume is not zero, arrow keys change volume and channels.
There is a mixer for pulseaud
Already done that. Went one step further and installed VLC which has better
software amplification than the supplied Totem. It's somehow louder, still
unusable as you have to guess most of the normal talk and only shouts are
clear. So sound's broken. :(

Sure. They don't work. And Mr. Rowe hasn't answered my mail since I got the
parcel. So I don't know if it's my one laptop or is it a general issue. I
incline to say it's a broken one as there is no mention in any
The hardware audio buttons are between the Esc and Blue 'ThinkVantage' button
at the top righthand part of the keyboard area.
Hmm, the hardware buttons work on my Gluglug X60 but only when a audio or
video file is playing. Also, VLC was installed by default on the laptop I
received.
The next paragraph in my reply looks interesting too. How about you?
Weird. I have totem and installed vlc myself. And the three buttons don't
have any effect. Not even on the visual side.
So you mean you can hear sound of your Gluglug X60?
Problem solved!
Mr. Rowe quickly answered one email. The hardware buttons DO work. But they
are separated from the software system. So there was no sense of looking for
a change on the sound bar. Together, both hardware buttons and volume applet
hurt my ears through the headphones.
