Ok, I got flash going for now (and seems to run fine and not eat up cpu at the moment, but havcen't tested it hard yet). But I guess sound isn't going yet. I installed the pulseaudio-libs.i386 (in which nspluginwrapper is already installed) but still no sound. What packages are needed (both i386 and x64) to make it work? The device itself works just fine, as sound card detection works without a hitch, but not through flash or whatever. Haven't tried a cd or anything yet. Including sound info just in case isn't needed.. 00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 2a5b Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0 (500ns min, 1250ns max) Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 22 Region 0: Memory at fe028000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot +,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask+ 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Address: 0000000000000000 Data: 0000 Masking: 00000000 Pending: 00000000 Capabilities: [6c] HyperTransport: MSI Mapping Enable- Fixed+ Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "The best lil town on Earth!"
