I will use it through jack for serious music work (though the intel/realtek is no slouch). And I have all my desktop sounds off--who needs them? >Are you sure that the issue is related to the kernel update? >t's very common that jack connectors fail, try cables with jacks from >different vendors if possible I have discarded two cables since I started knocking my brains trying to get sound going correctly. 1/8 inch jacks are garbage. My old sound card had a breakout box with 4in-4out 1/4 inch bananas and XLRs. Unfortunately, it had no drivers done since windows-98 with which I used it for serious production. No alsa from dman2044. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
