Ah, now that is a revelation. I discovered, to my astonishment, that I have a Via codec. In an Intel chip-set? Weird. Never mind. So I enabled the Via codec in the kernel config and rebooted, but it made no difference. So I took the blunderbuss approach and enabled all the available codecs. Still no improvement. Back to square one. I still have no idea what's wrong with my sound system. Thanks for suggestions so far... -- Rgds Peter.
