Thanks Clemens, There is now a error message concerning "hybrid-gfx" This is what I did: > sudo adduer joe audio and reran the test A bit of Googling later seems like I'm missing an executable called hybrid-detect I search my disk and can't find a hybrid-detect anywhere So I did an >sudo apt-get install ubuntu-drivers-common So now there *is* a hybrid-detect The last error message is [ 4.160206] init: Failed to spawn hybrid-gfx main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory I googled this and found some mailing list threads - but it's unclear to me what is missing - or malconfigured on my system Cheers /Joe ---- output from also-info.sh upload=true&script=true&cardinfo= !!################################ !!ALSA Information Script v 0.4.61
