Thanks Takashi! Now that I've gotten the software to compile correctly and I'm able to interact with the audio hardware using alsamixer, I tried to run the speaker-test and now I'm getting the error "ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1616:(snd1_pcm_direct_parse_open_conf) The field ipc_gid must be a valid group (create group audio)" which I can see is a problem with the absence of the 'audio' group on the distro. Is there a way I can configure alsa to use a different group other than 'audio'? Thanks, Dave
