Hello, Yes, I came back to the original version of alsa on Ubuntu (1.0.17). I also tried the version 1.0.19 without success. I'll try the snapshot but tell me if I can use alsa-tools and alsa-utils with older version than the snapshot is. I don't see any alsa-tools included in the snapshot. Thanks, ------------------ Takashi Iwai wrote :> At Wed, 18 Feb 2009 20:29:10 -0500,> jacques wrote:>> Here is a link with more outputs from alsa-info.sh script.
