I'm guessing its an intel sound chipset. What a flaming piece of crap that High Definition Audio is. Start by yast, ripping out the sound system and putting it back in piece by piece. I had one new Dell 9200 desktop that simply refused to give sound for more than a few minutes. I dicked around with it for three hours and finally said enough, grabbed a ancient sound blaster card out of the spare parts bin, slapped it in and had sound in 5 minutes flat. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
