Laptop audio speakers not working on Messenger 6.1

[reeko]

Hi,
I have an IBM T40 laptop and all of my co-workers have the same Messenger
audio problem.

When I am doc'd the I can set the audio tuning wizzard to say that I am
using speakers (not setting the headphone button) this works fine and I hear
the audio test stream fine. (I want to use the built in speakers). This
enables echo cancelation which I want.

When un doc'd, using the audio wizard, the speakers only work if I set the
headphone button to on, disabling EC. If the headphone box is unchecked, I
hear no audio, if checked I hear it fine, but EC is disabled.

I suppose I can use headphones allways, but since the laptop has speakers, I
wanted to use them.

Any ideas?
Rick

Not that I got any response or help here...But......
I fixed my particular problem.
Turns out to be a problem with the audio drivers (SoundMax) that were
installed on my T40.
I went to the IBM site and loaded the newest driver which fixed the problem.
(Although the change note never mentioned this as an issue.).
