This took a little research since I haven't had to do detailed Alsa troubleshooting in a while. (I have just been lucky.) There is a script: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/alsa-inf o.sh that captures all of the details about your sound system and can be viewed online. It will tell you what is installed how its configured etc. Its reasonably secure and doesn't seem to reveal anything about the source ID but I would be careful to check it before posting the url. Let me know what you discover or post the url after you have checked for any sensitive identifiable info.

I tried to upgrade by using the script as well as step-by-step upgrading the driver (download the driver, tar xvf the file, sudo ./Configure blabla, sudo make, finally sudo make install). I also checked the script log file, but I'm a newbie, so I don't understand too much about all the msgs. It is written that: "ALSA modules were successfully compiled.". The only warning I got after installing the driver is: "WARNING!!! The mixer channels for the ALSA driver are muted by default!!!". Is there any specific messages that I need to watch carefully?
