Andrew, I appreciate your speedy response! I hardly expected one overnight.
I don't know what "RTFM" or "WFM?!" means, since I am a relic of the 1900's. But I get the idea that we're pretty much on our own. I don't see any financial incentive for hardware manufacturers to support Linux, particularly Everex (or whoever makes the sound card in this laptop). I thank you for your suggestions and will consider them carefully. Perhaps I do need to dig in and just learn Linux. Either that, or I'll find one that works better than Ubuntu. Or reload Vista. I've spent a lot of time already, and nothing on the Ubuntu site suggested that I would have problems with basic functions. Other than the sound and the jerky video, the operating system is much faster and I'm getting used to the differences. But it is extremely frustrating not to find a solution posted to what is evidently a widespread problem. Ubuntu/Canonical MUST know about this, and should proactively work to fix it in their releases. This has obviously been going on for some time. -- Headphone jack does not work in NC1502 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184314 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
