I've stumbled upon this very problem again. I've double checked my confs for overrided settings and also checked pacmd for the udev module. Nothing wrong, apparently. But my intel-hda internal audio doesn't have analog output profiles anymore, just digital output profiles mixed with analog input. I use kde4 but I'm re-emerging pulseaudio with gnome USE flag to enable GConf functionality. I have gnome and gtk+ libs already, so that's not a issue. Ok, so I've re-emerged with GConf support and realtime support, and now my analog stereo duplex profile is available again. Any thoughts? Should I re-emerge pulseaudio without gnome USE flag and test the card detection? Claudio Roberto Fran?a Pereira (a.k.a.
