[ubuntu-uk] Rolling back Updates

[Chris Weaver]

Thanks for the prompt reply! The machine in question is a Dell Vostro
420, the built in sound card as I recall took alot of fiddling (I'm
still learning about OSS/PulseAudio/ALSA phew!) it is a HDA Intel
model.

Wasn't aware of the Dell forum. Thanks for the link
