This is a file of what information I could dig up; it should be useful http://vetshelpcenter.com/media/trouble-shoot-gr-55.txt Are there any programs/scripts I can install/run that will help trouble shoot this? Are there any good articles about trouble shooting drivers that might help? The system seems stable; no problems; just can not connect the to the device. In Sound Preference I have Input set to GR-55 Analog Stereo, the meter does not move, which indicates to me, that its not listening; Output set to speakers (GR-55 doesn't really have an output device; but it shows up as an option).

I would just use aplay with a plain wav file and see what it does. And then try arecord to see whether you can capture any input signal. > Do these instructions look correct?

No, it's all good. The reason why it locked up might be that you are now using a premature kernel which has not been officially released. At the moment, as Linus' mainline tree is in a rather stable phase (due to a new release coming up the next days or so), what you could also do is git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git git checkout -b alsa git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git master As of today, that should give you give a 2.6.39-rc7+ version. But for testing whether the patch works, the approach you took is totally fine I think. Daniel
