Temporarily, at least, until the problem recurs. <div class="moz-signature">______________ Steve Riley <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:stvrly@gmail.com">stvrly@gmail.com</a> </div> On 2011-11-29 09:25, Swapnil Bhartiya wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:4ED5158F.2000906@gmail.com" type="cite">I started to miss Ubuntu ;-) Ran into yet another problem. The audio suddenly dropped and I could not play anything. Under audio settings it only shows pulse audio. I have p7p55d -e LX motherboard VIA HD Sound card.
