details. Here goes:
Sound problem 2/15/07
Following the solutions guide,

I get:

From the above, I conclude that things are installed properly, and should work.
They do not. So, more results follow.

Note from Ubuntu forum:
ATTENTION:
Due to an unavoidable ABI change the Ubuntu 6.06 and Ubuntu
6.10 kernel updates have been given a new version number, which
requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules
you might have installed. If you use linux-restricted-modules, you
have to update that package as well to get modules which work with the
new kernel version. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard
kernel metapackages (linux-386, linux-powerpc, linux-amd64-generic), a
standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well.
Is emu10k1 third party? To what does the pronoun "this" in the last sentence refer?
Any offerings are most welcome.
