Well, in response to this, I ripped a track from a CD using |
27 |
kaudiocreator. The track ripped, encoded and played fine from the hard |
28 |
drive. |

I'm sure there isn't a problem with the audio cable not being |
31 |
connected. The laptop is a Dell and it is pretested before leaving the |
32 |
factory. The thing is, the laptop came with Windows Vista on it. |
33 |
Windows Vista got booted the first time that I turned the laptop on to |
34 |
the point where I got the setup screen that you get the first time. |
35 |
This was only because I wasn't quick enough hitting the F2 button to get |
36 |
into the BIOS. I never set Vista up, I installed Gentoo and the laptop |
37 |
does not dual boot. |
