Indeed, there is an awful lot of advice out there about how to get the 600 / 600e's sound working, and everyone's advice seems to be a little different. I burnt off three more hours this eve trying the above thinkwiki suggestions for my 600e, plus various other ALSA module blacklist / modprobe voodoo, all to no avail. Another machine that does not work with ALSA.... Actually, the root problem is probably deeper then ALSA (IRQ conflict?) as in its current state, not even USB audio works for me. USB audio has *always* worked on my other machines, without exception. Clayton -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
