Anyone else running Mepis 6.0 on this laptop? Mine is a Core 2 Duo (T5200), I was wondering if anyone has gotten the sound to work in full duplex so it can be used by more than one program at a time. Also wanted to compare notes.
No but......

I am thinking about getting that for my mom and putting Mepis 6 (or later) on it.
How has your experience been thus far (minus the issue that prompted you to create this specific forum)?
Any ACPI problems, video problems, internet problems, etc?
soundcard?

What type of soundcard does it have? Intel?
Anyways, lots of cards do not support multiplexed sound as is. You will need to create a file called .asoundrc in your home folder. The exact contents of this file may differ between cards, but mine looks like this:
#
# ALSA - .asoundrc
#
pcm.CARD_0 {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.CARD_0 {
type hw
card 0
}
Just copy and paste into kwrite or any other editor and save as .asoundrc (include the dot). Restart KDE and check if it works. If not, do lspci and paste the contents in a post so someone can look at it. Also, check out the wiki for sound issues: www.mepis.org/docs
