Nick's patch seemed to have fixed the original problem
 but the system hung (mouse and kbd inoperative) while
trying to get the microphone working.

Unfortunately I am now out for most of the rest of the
day and also this evening.   If I can I will have
another look at it later this afternoon and check out
Nick's (incl Steve's mod) suggestions, which seem to
be the consensus, and let you know how I get on.

Please bear in mind, too, that with no Linux Internet
connection it will be difficult for me to post
diagnostics.

Cheers
