Here's an update. The sound comes and goes. I've been leaving the |
| 26 |
sound on all the time now and not just when I need it. I test it |
| 27 |
frequently just to see if it works. I haven't found any pattern other |
| 28 |
than when I do a reboot or shutdown when the box powers up again |
| 29 |
sometimes I have the audio and sometimes I don't. However, even when |
| 30 |
there's no audio it looks like the modules load and alsasound starts. |
