I've ran into a few Ben Armbrusters on the internet. I'm fairly certain that the bill isn't mine. heheh. I've been told that all Armbrusters, Armbristers, and Armbrusts in the U.S. are related in some way or another. I have no idea how. Yeah that is creepy.

I'm searching the web trying to find out why some debt collection company is sending me a bill I don't owe when I came across this website... Now I can talk about myself in the 3rd person. Crazy that there's this many Armbruster's around the country - most of whom I am probably totally unrelated to. Wow. creepy.

The sound driver works perfectly, by and large, BUT, the analog loopback has been left active, which results in a massive feedback problem as the (EXTREMELY) sensitive built-in mic picks up the soft hiss of the speakers, and, sent through the loopback, amplifies it to an ear-piercing level. This is incredibly easy to fix. First, plug a set of headphones into the audio jack in the front of your 1525 Inspiron. This will prevent severe hearing damage and/or cardiac arrest. =P Once Mandriva has started, right-click your volume control (KMix), and select Show Mixer Window. Now, I've heard others recommend disabling the Capture device in Inputs. However, this means you can't record from the mic any more. The better solution is simply to disable the loopback, which feeds the speaker back into the mic in a loop that results in the squeal. So, in the mixer, select Switches (rather than Inputs), and mute the Analog Loopback. Done. Now, no more squeal, and everything else in the laptop works 100 percent, including wifi. Plus, you can still record through the mic. :) Chris. http://www.linux-disks.com Mandriva Spring 2008.1 will install with only one hitch - a massive squeal when you start the system for the first time after installation.
