16 I tried that, and I thought it hadn't worked because when I rebooted I still
17 had no sound. But then, when I decided to reboot again with the old kernel to
18 see if I'd now lost my working sound device, I heard the KDE shutdown bong. So
19 I've rebooted the new kernel and all is well.

21 Meanwhile I had fiddled with alsactl, issuing various commands blindly. Maybe
22 that's what fixed it.

24 Many thanks for your help Mick.
