I switched to the ~x86 alsa-driver package from the in-kernel version and enabled all rtc stuff in the kernel and it might be a little better. It does sound like something of a timing issue. There are lots of clicks in the sound when on the phone. Hard to describe. - Grant -- [email protected] mailing list
