hmm. Thanks for all the suggestions. Just to make sure we all know that I have 
done the basics (!) .... when I mentioned the might of Canonical support, I 
mean just that - and we went through all of the obvious stupid things. The 
support was hands on as well, btw

I also have the problem with Ubuntu ( I actually run KDE on Ubuntu to make 
things more interesting ). Very odd.

The volume 'panel' comes up when I increase / decrease the volume. All the 
mixer sliders are set sensibly ....

I have also tried through a wind*ws xp system that I can dual boot, and that 
is fine.

I can see a fresh install coming with Feisty GA code.

Oh well.
