(Get the code!)
Alas, I doubt litigation is on the table.
I also absolutely would not have purchased this laptop had I known sound
support would have been an issue in Linux (or at least returned it
within the first 30 days had I known 6 months later this would still be
ongoing). I received mine back in August... Now I'm starting to eye new
laptops already because I don't have any sound. However, now I'm also
concerned that comparatively spec'ed laptops may also have sound issues
potentially due to amplifier sound chips that could result in the same
problem.
At some point in the near future, I may resort to purchasing new laptops
and returning them within 30 days if there are any issues under Linux,
because I simply can't assume they'll be addressed.
Lenovo not wanting to put any developer time into drivers doesn't
necessarily mean they're refusing documentation. Perhaps a code bounty
could work? I'd be willing to donate to that cause.
