did you compile your sound drivers into the kernel, or as a module. i had a similar issue before on my thinkpad t61. i compiled all the intel-hd related sound drivers into the kernel, but the sound system does not work. but after i compile them as modules, the sound works very well. -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/ http://meme.yahoo.com/davidshen84/
