A good way of debugging would be to list the snd modules Ubuntu distro is using. I guess snd-aoa-codec-tas should be correct for your machine.

It worked fine for the longest time... Do what I've mentioned above, reboot and post the following outputs as user: $ lsmod | grep snd $ cat /proc/asound/cards $ cat /proc/asound/version $ dpkg -l | egrep "(alsa-|asound)" $ aplay -lL $ groups Elimar -- It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
