(Not that there might not be > other issues I have not hit.) I can't see how this commit fixes your sound problem. Are you loading/unloading the device drivers (i.e. via /etc/rc.suspend,resume)? I could see that helping. Or is the problem fixed even without doing that? > First rule of troubleshooting...change only one variable at a time! > Learned that over 30 year ago, but still ignore it too often. It's often difficult to sit down and come up with the optimal test plan (for instance, binary search) and then stick to it. Usually after a while, the temptation is too great to just try what you think will fix it and then get lost in random, duplicative tests. I think this is related to the high we get from succeeding in record time due to intuition. Of course, we don't later remember the hours spent pursuing unfruitful intuitions and compare, we only remember the good ones. :-) -Nate
