Maybe you can try to contact them via their "Linux Support" page? http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/eng/develop.php3 I downloaded a driver for this chip for Windows and browsed through files. In one of .inf files it's named Conexant Function Driver for Waikiki High Definition Audio Device". PCI id: %HdAudioFunctionDriver.Waikiki5047.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModel,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5047&SUBSYS_1179FF31 Not much in the Internet about "Conexant Waikiki", though; I found this Microsoft document: http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/c/5/9c5b2167-8017-4bae-9fde-d599bac8184a/PinConfig.doc http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:fkMCShYvkaEJ:download.microsoft.com/download/9/c/5/9c5b2167-8017-4bae-9fde-d599bac8184a/PinConfig.doc+Conexant+Waikiki After reading the .doc file it looks like that this chip is supported by Microsoft's UAA drivers (this is an universal driver for many different HD Audio codecs) http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/audio/uaa.mspx?gssnb=1 So if it's universal under windows, then maybe this chip will work in Linux with some other HD Audio codec driver? Maybe snd-hda-intel in Alsa? Regards, Michal Hi,

Not much in the Internet about “Conexant Waikiki”, though; I found this Microsoft document:

If it works without a DSDT that's weird but good luck to you. I forgot to mention that I have submitted a corrected DSDT for the BenQ S52-v54 to acpi which you can get from here.

Try to download the latest kubuntu live CD (Dapper Flight 6). Battery sensors now works. It can help you to find how to fix it on your distro. Still no sound, btw. DAMN! Hi!
