If I run kmix it shows Intel 82801DB-ICH4. If I change the settings using amixer the changes are reflected in kmix, so something's working. It's just the fact that I don't get any sound out and I get the above error when I log in. -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000
