Well, linux-3.17 is the stable mainline kernel. It's not experimental and there are no known bugs about data loss. If you're not comfortable to try 3.17 I can tell you that this kernel runs fine. (3.14.25, 3.17.4, 3.18-rc5 here). But I won't force you to use it. You can otherwise try some Live-Distros (Knoppix, GRML a.o) to check your soundcard. Those are not running 3.17! How to install Debian's 3.17: As root: # echo "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/unstable main non-free contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/teutone.list # apt-get update # apt-get install -t unstable linux-image-3.17-1-amd64 Reboot to load the new kerenl and test sound. To reverse it: # rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/teutone.list # apt-get update # apt-get remove --purge linux-image-3.17-1-amd64 Thats it ;-) > > > > > > Only difference, I can't use media buttons to control volume when > > > pulseaudio is turned off (guess that's normal) > > > > Thats not normal.

If there is a hardware bug you can check live distris as mentioned above. But there we can't help.
