Like what kind of half-assed operation deploys an image that doesn't have a functioning audio driver?

it will play audio out of the built-in speakers fine but if you plug in even headphones it says it needs a driver and adding drivers is admin-only so you get a bunch of UAC prompts

No poo poo, we're talking about laptops. Audio is a basic assumed function.

Haven't ever seen that. Is it a physical snap-in dock or a hosed up USB one?

If it's a snap-in dock there's chipset firmware you can upgrade on the laptop for that.

I'm loving livid. how do you gently caress this up? I handed it to the bartender to make sure I wasn't going loving insane and he looked at me like I was insane. 'no seriously try to plug it in' he tries to plug it in and laughs and says it just straight up won't fit.

it's a w540 and the 170w ultra dock, windows 7

i think the real reason is i have it in "always use the quadro for external displays" and half everything's ui is all hardware accelerated now and welp
