Latitude e6400 - No sound

Help
1

Hello,

I found this in the compatible hardware list:

**Dell Latitude E6400**
Rating: Excellent (everything works… except maybe the camera or fingerprint reader)
Version: Nightly 64-bit (hrev51798)
Started with: EFI (by choice), from USB flash drive
Memory: 4 GB
Processor: 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400
GPU: Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M
Sound card: Intel
Network cards: Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (802.11a/g/n)
Additional notes: (None)
Contributor name: Peter

However, for me the sound isn’t working. I have the latest .iso release and the latest updates. Is there something I’m missing?

Also, I can’t figure out how to execute .jar files. Is there an environment variable I need to set? I installed the OpenJDK from the Haiku Depot. I made the .jar executable, but Haiku gives a prompt that it’s a mistake that the .jar is executable. When I try to execute it, it doesn’t work. Thank you for any help.

Hi,

did you test your sound card with external speakers or headphone?

The entry is from hrev 43612, this is a very old revision. There can be changes in the past and break compatibility. Please make a bug report to the haiku bug tracker

.

In our hardware database the soundcard are a ac97 from intel. There can be diffent hardware used for this model too.

this isn’t a Haiku-specific question, see for instance: How to make bash wrapper script to execute java jar that takes stdin and outputs to stdout - Stack Overflow

Suggestion is to use a bash script:

#!/bin/bash
exec java -jar whatever.jar "$@"
