It might, but that wouldn't likely be a driver problem per se. Audio in Ubuntu is a multi-layered beast with alsa at the bottom and pulseaudio in the middle. So if there were a problem with pulse or its interactions with the driver, you might have problems with some applications configured to talk to pulse, but not with others configured to talk directly to the driver. It's easy to rule this out, just run an audio program configured to talk directly to the driver. > Robert Mark Wallace > 60 Delaware Road > Newburgh, NY 12550-3802 > Telephone: (845) 566-0586 > > Proudly sent using Ubuntu Linux.
