I get sound from my P51 / Xubuntu 17.04 if plugged in the laptop directly but not from the docking station if laptop resides in the station. I think I have tried all recommended steps for other Lenovo models regarding the configuration file (alsa-base.conf) and even tried all possibilities from HDAJackRetask without success. Also I called my dealer and he said that the P51 laptop IS Ubuntu certified but the docking station is NOT - so he can't help me in any way :-(

Has anybody managed to get this working? Possibly interesting are people that got the sound working for the P50 (predecessor of the P51) in the docking station since the docking station seems to be absolutely the same.

Thanks for any hints!

I have a P51 and have the same problem. There is no audio when the laptop is connected to the docking station AND IF a headset or external speakers are connected to the docking station. Unplugging the headset from the docking station has solved the problem for me (at least partially). Connecting the headset to the laptop itself works, too - even when the laptop is connected to the docking station.
