This has been ongoing since 2010 .. I thought that it was a hardward (Altec-Lansing speakers/remote control) issue, but noting the timimg of linux header updates, I believe it is linux (Ubuntu) problem.

Hello: I hve the VS 4221 speakers and two of the wireless remotes; neither of the remotes works, even with new button batteries. I cannot change the treble/bass, etc.
Restarting my computer has no effect, nor doe unplugging the speakers (electrical outlet), then plugging them back in again.
Please advise ... thanks.

Hi: I purchased these speakers (VS4221) in Nov. 2009. This week, the remote suddenly stopped working; I thought it was the battery, but a fresh (new) battery did nothing: the remote still fails to work, at all. I cannot use the standby function,or more importantly adjust bass / treble.

Hello: Please regard this issue as "Resolved:"
1. I found a link on your website for ordering a replacement remote for free (shipping not included);
http:// www.alteclansin g.com/index. php?file= north_product_ detail& iproduct_ id=remote_ for_vs4221
2. This morning (Apr. 26), after a few Ubuntu (v.9.10) updates ran / installed, this remote began working again (without a system restart). Go figure.
Anyway, this issue now appears to be resolved, satisfactorily.
Thanks, and have a great day! Victoria :-)
