I think I'd also consider upgrading the alsa driver. I've been on the

driver, which is available from.

The now current 1.0.15 alsa driver is available from.
http://alsa-project.org

Richard is using Debian Etch, and on my Etch using the 2.6.18-5-686 kernel,
the alsa driver version is showing as 1.0.12rc1 (Thu Jun 22 13:55:50 2006
UTC). This works fine for my audigy2 soundblaster (emu10k1), but for your
laptop Richard, if it's the latest, and greatest, you may just have to go
with upgrading the alsa driver.

Well, latest and greatest it isn't. I bought it because it was cheap in
a clearance sale and had 'doze on it, which I needed for 5 minutes to set up
a GPRS modem. (Actually, it turned out I didn't need it after all...).
By my standards, it is recent (my next most modern is the IBM 600E)

Anyway, suggestion noted: I'll start with the kernel and move on to the
alsa driver if necessary.

Thanx,
