Have pavucontrol installed? What does it say wrt input and output devices? -- Rex Hi Rex, pavucontrol lists "HDA NVidia - ALC888 Analog" for input and output whether I've done my workaround or not. KMix, on the bottom right of the task bar is what is giving me a visual indication that something is hinky - along with that whole 'no sound from the speakers' thing. I've really got no idea what all is in the chain between KMix and the hardware itself. Cheers, Gar
