Please let me know if some more recent version of alsa makes this work for you. This is a deal breaker for me as I'm a heavy Skype user. The built-in webcam is also something I'm using effectively now. Using Debian lenny on the Acer Aspire One I just tested: # get module assistant to get, build and install the alsa modules m-a a-i alsa # unload the older alsa modules from kernel rmmod $(lsmod | grep snd | cut -f1 -d' ') # load the newly built modules --- note model=acer! modprobe snd-hda-intel model=acer # record 10 seconds of CD quality audio arecord -f cd -v -d 10 /tmp/test.wav # play it aplay /tmp/test.wav And it worked! So perhaps some recent changes to the alsa-source package in lenny made it work or my tests earlier were buggy!

On WinXP atleast, whenever I plug in headphones, I need to ensure the acer audio mixer app is running for the sound to be routed to the headphones. Not running this app causes the sound to be played back through the built-in speakers even though I have the headphones plugged in. I have one more issue -- at the lowest screen brightness, the screen flickers every time the HDD reads/writes data. This happens all the time, even when the laptop is on AC or battery power. I'm not sure if this is a hardware of software glitch, do you notice the same problem using X.org servers? Thanks for all your inputs! - Raja ___ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with unsubscribe password address in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

(I use alsamixer). I have one more issue -- at the lowest screen brightness, the screen flickers every time the HDD reads/writes data. I haven't noticed anything specific like this. I have not tried to do anything disk intensive while having a video or GL graphic running, so that needs to be tried.
