Thanks Paul. I've been using model=acer and I just tried a couple |
| 35 |
others, some worked some didn't. I also tried removing and replacing |
| 36 |
my second USB sound card definition. The strange thing is I've come |
| 37 |
back to my original config and it's working now. Could another file |
| 38 |
have gotten out of order and my playing with the settings got it back |
| 39 |
together? |
