The /proc/asound/pcm file has this listed: 00-00: STAC92xx Analog : STAC92xx Analog : playback 1 : capture 2 00-01: STAC92xx Digital : STAC92xx Digital : playback 1 00-03: INTEL HDMI 0 : INTEL HDMI 0 : playback 1 Yes, this audio works just fine within Kubuntu. Here is the output from the 'lsmod' binary: # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi 11040 1 snd_hda_codec_idt 30668 1 snd_hda_intel 14480 0 snd_hda_codec 33296 3 snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi,snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_hda_intel snd_pcm 37628 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_page_alloc 4016 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm snd_timer 10564 1 snd_pcm snd 26200 6 snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi,snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 2640 1 snd e1000e 82016 0 video 12712 0 output 724 1 video backlight 1632 1 video hid_logitech 2872 0 serio_raw 2380 0 Seems to be getting the drivers loaded correctly, I just have no idea why it's not playing. Also, if I'm missing information to help with a question, please don't just ignore it, but ask me for whatever information you need to help resolve the problem. Sometimes I forget to include certain information or don't know what to post so any of the people here can help fix the issue. :) You guys have waaaaaay more knowledge about this than I do after all. :) Thanks, Dave
