</div></div>Hello,<br>
<br>
I think I'm running hda-intel (perhaps it was on my T61).<br>
<br>
Anyway I'm using a T400 Thinkpad, running Fedora Linux 11, with<br>
2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i686.PAE kernel.<br>
<br>
My smolt profile is here:<br>
<a href=3D"http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_9940d6f1-5115-4ce7-831e-4b=
90895eacc6" target=3D"_blank">http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_9940d6f=
1-5115-4ce7-831e-4b90895eacc6</a><br>
<br>
But it's the ICH9 chipset and I'm running the latest BIOS.<br>
<br>
This is the list of 'alsa' packages I have on my system:<br>
<br>
rpm -qa "*alsa*"<br>
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.21-2.fc11.i586<br>
alsa-lib-1.0.21-3.fc11.i586<br>
alsa-utils-1.0.21-2.fc11.i586<br>
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.21-3.fc11.i586<br>
<br>
_I hear both beeps._<br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<br>
<br>
