I meant that 3.2.0-31-generic was the latest kernel available from Ubuntu. You're proposing what sounds like a worthwhile experiment considering the major overhaul to the snd-usb driver, but I've never upgraded a kernel except from deb packages, so I'm quaking in my boots just thinking about it. Ooh, and I bet you're telling me that I would have to make the kernel. More quaking. Out of curiousity, are you aware of any specific characteristics of the old snd-usb driver that could account for what I am experiencing? Thanks for your suggestion. I will investigate further tomorrow. -- Jeffrey Barish ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got visibility?
