I no longer seem to have any issues, or if they are present, they're very intermittent on my system. I'd say that for my specific laptop the issue is resolved simply with the "options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire" line; I don't need to do any reloading anymore. Debian testing just had some new Alsa packages come in and maybe that might be helping things for me; I don't know, but I have no further complaints: things work great. Thanks for the feedback guys. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
