Ideally it's better to post your reply at the bottom of the previous reply, for the sake of continuity, and I've shuffled it, so that it's correct now. You had been doing that before, so I don't know why this post was different. I use Kmail, so don't know how Gmail does stuff, but whatever you do, don't post in html. Back to the plot. I don't know ARCH linux, but if the codec is ALC268 there's a chance of getting sound working. You either wait until a 2.6.23 kernel is available for your distro, which should have the 1.0.15 alsa driver, or the other option is to download the latest development version of the alsa driver, and build it for your current kernel to use. See link below. The current version is 1.0.14, but expect this to change to 1.0.15 in the next few days. http://alsa-project.org/ I've never had to upgrade the alsa driver manually before, as my 2 soundcards work without any problems, but I've been trying to get around to having a practice with this procedure, just for the sake of knowing how to do it, therefore I'm not the one to ask at the moment. I might ask on the ARCH linux mailing list/forum, and see if anyone knows when the 2.6.23 kernel is going to be available. It may be worth the wait, unless your feeling adventurous. and want to get sound working immediately.
