Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Maverick/10.10 reached EOL on April 2012. See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
I've tried recreating this bug with Precise/12.04 and was unable to, given the information you've provided (I have a Realtek ALC892 on a Biostar motherboard). Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. If the bug is still reproducible, change the bug to 'Confirmed' status. ** Changed in: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017144 Title: [Realtek ALC892] Playback problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1017144/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
