Yep I did. I guess you're tired of stupid support requests. Don't worry I think I know what I'm doing very well. Tried with lots of different model options for the module too, none worked. > Anyway, please show the alsa-info.sh output with --no-upload option. > This will tell us more detailed information. Sure, I'm attaching 2 version. One is by not passing any argument to the module after a fresh boot, the other one is by using model=dell-m42 which should be mine according to my PID. BTW there are lots of bug tickets opened for this card over the net, most related to Ubuntu and kernel > 2.6.24 Thanks, Manuel
