sound recording does not work on intel HD audio ??

[Fred Schaer]

Hi,

Thanks for the answer :)
Actually, I'm indeed running Gutsy, so I may try to use backports to see
if it helps.

I just checked, I don't have snd-hda-intel (or snd_hda_intel ?) anywhere
in /etc : maybe the module is loaded in the initrd ? In that case, I'll
try to regenerate the initrd files...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to try all this :)

Regards
