No promises that this will fix anything, but there has been a lot of traffic on Alsa-Devel about problems like this. I use a different chip from Via, and adding this option helped me. Try adding an option to your /etc/modules.d/alsa file for the Intel chips: alias snd-card-0 snd-i8x0 (or whatever yours actually is) option snd-i8x0 dxs_support=4 Just add the option line. Leave the existing line alone. Try options 0-4 and see which works best for you. It might help. These require a reboot for me, but you might be able to just start and stop Alsa. I don't know. Good luck, and no guarantees! - Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
