Hello all.
been awhile since I have been here.
I brought a HP pavilion DV2221us notebook a few months ago which came with Windows Vista (YUCK!), a couple of weeks ago I downgraded back to XP pro cause vista sucks.
My speakers were working fine for a few days and then they just up and died on me; my headphone jack works which is how I listen to music on my laptop now.
I hadnt installed any new hardware or software before the issue and so I loaded on a copy of linux I had and the speakers worked fine (what the heck?!)
Loaded a fresh copy of XP pro back on and the same problem only this time the speakers didnt work when I first installed windows.
What could be going on here? the speakers work in linux but not windows??
I like Linux but do not want to use it fulltime so please dont think this is an option I can take lol.
please if you can shed some light on this it would be great.
Thanks
