Hi Bjorn, Might sound good but it doesn't work :-( If you think it is a version problem should I remove the distro versions of alsa and compile them all from the tarballs on the alsa web site? One technical question though, I compiled the driver from the tarball, version 1.0.18a. If I then compile a later version will the old version be overwritten or should I remove, somehow, the old version before compiling the latest version? My apologies for continued questioning.
