Hello: With thanks to Tobin Davis, I was able to resolve part of my problem. With using the latest snapshot of the alsa driver as well as adding options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-eapd to the /etc/modprobe.conf file, I was able to get rid of the high pitched squeal and have proper audio playback on the internal speakers. I am still unable to record. For your benefit, I do have some more Information on the audio device. From the lspci -qn, I got: Class: 0403 8086:2668 rev03 Subsystem: 144D:C027 Has anyone got audio recording working on this codec and subsystem?
