BYON is a brand that offer cheap price like ACER or AXIOO. After doing some research for several days, for a laptop which has processor above 2GHz, memory up to 4 GB DDR2, could burn DVD, integrated camera, bluetooth, integrated wireless and network stuff, and size just right enough for traveller and programmer, which is 13" wide screen, quite cheap price, and good review from internet resources, my choice goes to BYON S1371.
Unfortunately, the cheap price comes with consequences which is no OS. Microsoft stuff isn't cheap and moreover, their stuff got so many blue screen at least once a month, I wonder why (programmer's stuff not really friendly with Microsoft's stuff). So you have to find the free OS which is supported enough for programmer (as far as I know, oracle and their cool stuff only support linux Ubuntu, not slackware). That OS goes to Ubuntu.
Ubuntu isn't as stable as slackware, but it's free and quite friendly with programmer's stuff (but I have no plan on comparing its friendliness with Microsoft's). If only slackware got friendly with programmer's stuff.
Well, anyway, after installing Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex on laptop S1371, all works except camera, fingerprint, and earphone/headphone. Laptop without working earphone/headphone jack is kind of ..., well at least you want to listen music while doing something and internal speaker is out of question for doing that.
Shortly, the earphone/headphone jack not working on laptop BYON S1371 with Ubuntu. So I'm doing another research. At the middle of the research I kind of curious if my laptop hardware defected, so I try to install win on my laptop. It's kind of struggling because oddly, my laptop doesn't detect bootable cd from win. I'm doing research again and kind of succeed when I use both usb and cd bootable. This technique not redoable, because my win kind of crush and I'm planning to deja vu the technique and it's not working anymore. I wonder why. But overall, the hardware works just find with win OS.
So it's about software, and unworking hardware is all about driver. Research, research, and research not really succeed, because I know the technique but the problem solver just not made yet. So it comes to guessing the solver. This install uninstall routines got over and over, and finally the earphone/headphone work on Ubuntu 8.10.
The solution is simple, compared to the research made to find it, and it's kind of involved marketing as well. Why marketing, because the driver that make it works belongs to ACER. Surprisingly BYON and ACER got the same hardware and driver or at least the compatibility between each other is quite high, and it's onboard. I wonder if they got the same factory too.
Technically it just need three steps to fix it, which is :
- open terminal, and type
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
- add the line below to the file and save it
options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire
- reboot
Processed for almost three months or 90 days or 2160 hours or 129600 minutes.
Result could be get for less than a minute.
