I've configured Gmail to use UTF-8 for outgoing messages ...... hope this helps.
Here is the output of 'lspci -nn' 02:03.0 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: ESS Technology ES1983S Maestro-3i PCI Audio Accelerator [125d:1998] (rev 10) At the time of my original email, I had only tried alsa-firmware version 1.0.20. I have subsequently tried 1.0.16, 17, and 19 ...... all with the same results. Here is the output of 'cat /proc/asound/version' Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.16. I installed alsa-base and alsa-utils from lenny. I noticed that alsa-base is version 1.0.17.dfsg-4 and alsa-utils is version 1.0.16-2. Is this ok? Again, any help is greatly appreciated.
