It's nice to hear from you, Mr. Wright. I remember your support.

This sounds interesting. May be you could teach the technique, if you
are willing to share your ideas, and I know by my experience that you
are.

This is the problem with the word Proprietary in Proprietary software.
So far as the Collective, Mutually Empowering Choice offered us humans
with the advent of FSF GNU-Linux, we missed the boat of Empowering the
Social Contract collectively. I continue to lament our poor choice for
this illusory threat of theft of personal information (or Zero Sum
Hawk-Dove Power Games?), which only in a minority of cases, could be
justified.

It is only because of a few individuals who still believe in the
robustness in the FSF and Open Source architecture that we remain what
we were supposed to be.

I am totally ignorant, because of my limited experience in the innards
of digital computing.

Yes, true. I shall seek this opportunity to explain with snapshots, as
deloptes too wanted to know in his own unique restless (no hurt
intended) way. The snapshots have been uploaded here:

Not sidebar, but as an addition to the main issue. We might as well
have a new thread on this topic.

BOTTOMLINE:
There isn't a problem with the laptop, as I had observed my daughter
use the same in Doze installed on the laptop earlier. Which is why I
asked for Realtek Audio drivers for Linux in the first place.
