np's :) Try compare "qvm-pci list" with lspci, it's the same list, but it'll show you if the Qubes tools register the sound card. Also try look in the Qubes menu --> Systems Tools --> Pulseaudio Manager. See if the sound server is connected or disconnected here. I can't write much more right now as I'm on the road and need to close the lid and move now, but checking these might get us a little closer with more information. I can confirm I see my own soundcards with "aplay -l", so this command should indeed be working in Qubes it seems? It sounds like a problem that is out of my league though, but I'll try to help where I can. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
