Laptops :: Panasonic CF-25 Runs awesome no sound! Any Ideas?



The driver is one of the ones  Alsa Setup tries to setup from the "Legacy ISA" menu.. If you do a "lsmod" it shows up as "snd-sb8".
Well I have just booted up via USB pen for the first time on my CF-27 Toughbook just to check out if the sound worked, which it did... Would you by chance know what sound card is detected during the start up if at all?

I know when I first had sound problems on kernel 2.4.29 with a slackware derivative I just had to make sure that I had ALSA correctly installed and configured. I remember seeing ALSA something in the MyDSL section which would be my first recommendation if you havn't figured the problem out by now...

To all others who want a Toughbook, I would recommend them 100%! They are awesome, talk about tough! Plus mine includes a touchscreen which of course makes it that much cooler! This thing is solid, built mostly out of a magnesium alloy, it is also almost totally water proof and the hard drive is mounted inside a half centimeter of gel so it keeps on ticking even if you drop it from a meter up! Plus I hear a toughbook stopped a bullet for some guy in Iraq, so if I ever get shot at again I now have a little more protection...

Nah ive been working on it for a while I still get lockups. It doesnt find my sound on boot gets errors. Now if I install Knoppix which runs really slow on this laptop sound works outa the box. DSL is just so fast on this its really the linux of choice for this laptop.
I have a toughbook CF-25 -- nothins on it but command.com. I'm not a good computer person but I want to try and get the DSL on it.  I have tried lots of stuff but nothing is working.  Can someone give me some pointers for getting DSl on this thing?

John I just sent you an email. I can help you get it working. I am windancerxb on aim if you would rather chat in real time. Also how much ram does your cf-25 have? mine is maxed at 96 megs. I have also done the bios update so I can boot to a cd which really helps alot. Anyway contact me we will see if we can get it working. I also would highly recommend that you pick of a linksys wpc11 on ebay for about 10 bucks for wireless internet as it works perfect on dsl. of course if you dont have wireless access then a card plugged would be fine too
