    Hello all, I love my N53 but I've been having a problem.

    I dual boot Windows 7 and Fedora 14. In Windows, the sound on my laptop works perfectly, and sounds great. In linux however, up until last night, I had no sound at all. After updating to the newest kernel version I now have sound, but only through the headphones. The speakers remain entirely silent.

    I have tried looking through the alsamixer sound controls and adjusting the volume for the speakers etc. to no avail.

    Basically my question is, do the bang & Olufsen ICEpower speakers need a special driver? Is such a driver even available for linux?

    Any other insights?

    Thanks for any help!
