Re: Sound



I might be a little off base with this but perhaps it is a kernel problem in 
that are not the even numbered kernels usually the developer/test kernels? 
Not that these kernels are bad so to speak, but they have not been fully 
stabilized, tested, finished, etc.(ie. some module support may be marked as 
experimental, meaning use at your own risk!). So I think, again I may be off 
base, it might be worth checking to see if the alsa portion of this kernel is 
marked experimental (I am not quite sure where you do this, kernel.org 
possibly?). Or you may want to try  the 2.4.17 kernel. 2.4.13 maybe?

This very, very "as is" suggestions though. Proceed at your own risk:-)
