OK - I disabled sound events in Gnome and *bish-bosh-bash* Gnome now works perfectly, but in absolute silence. So it is the Linux malaise all over again "one-problem-out, one -problem-in". Now I have to address the absence of sound. Would I be right in thinking that I have built in the wrong module when installing? The board is a Gigabyte GA-7ZX. I have been using the module for ES1371 but it seems clear after all of this business that I may have made a mistake. Can anyone guide me as to the correct module for this board?
