And you know they are identical how? Since the /proc enteries are created by the drivers, the evidence is against you. > > Is there a way of trying to include the missing devices in /dev/snd??

Perhaps > creating alsa from scratch would work. As I said I believe that you are using different versions of the alsa drivers in the two systems. As has been mentioned cat /proc/asound/version should give you a clue, but also compiling the alsa yourself and installing the drivers should also give you a clue. It is of course possible that Kubuntu has modified the alsa drivers, but I strongly doubt it. > > A similar problem seems to have happen with Thomas Krause. > > Any suggestions?? > > > Peter > > > > > Matthias Koenig wrote: >> Peter Ho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >> >>> Do you know what the latest version is?
