I'm sorry about that. You could be right, though, after all it is a netbook. > does the nvidia MCP79 utilize the intel hda protocol? Yes, it does. Now that I think about it, there is the possibility that the card model is not correctly identified... you should check the snd-intel-hda module documentation and see the possible values for the 'model' parameter. Be warned that there are a lot, but it could be a starting point for a google search. Corrado
