W510 Docking Station supporting Audio output

#1 Post by delaneybob » Tue Feb 15, 2011 4:06 pm

Hi,
Would like to know if there is a way to output audio (only for speakers) from the W510 docking station. I am trying to avoid having to unplug and replug the audio jack on the laptop everytime I dock/undock.

I looked at some threads http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-a ... 530/page/4

but wondered if anyone has tried a solution. The old T60 docks were great as they had standard jacks in them.
Just trying to avoid my companies standard image load :-)

Looks to me like the audio ports are on the right hand side of the dock (not the back). They are green and red colored -

We'll excuse the temporary mind lapse since you obviously have very good taste in equipment :).
