Since I don't have the file, I don't think the groups will matter.

That file I do have. The contents of the file is one line: --- no soundcards --- There is a directory in /proc/asound called card0.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. ;-) I do try to hack on problems a bit before going to the experts, for better or worse. I can tell you the installation of the Realtek driver went fine as far as I can tell. I had to load the linux kernel source, which it reads. It wasn't exactly trivial to do the build. The configure log looks good: configure: exit 0 Here is the tail end of the make: -------------- make -C /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop/build SUBDIRS=/usr/local/src/realtek/Rt-Linux-HDaudio-5.18/alsa-driver-RTv5.18/alsa CPP="gcc -E" CC="gcc" modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-3.11.6-4-obj/x86_64/desktop' Building modules, stage 2.
