Yes for HDA devices... one is analogue, and one is digital.

I take it that it's still not working ?

have you tried adjusting sound levels in alsamixer ?

I have partial sound you tube, web tutorials and I can play a mp4 saved on my computer are OK but If I play a DVD I know some times get sound some times the picture frezae or jumps finishing with the "errors pa_stream_cork() Failed" and "pa_stream_writ able_size failed:" both finish with connection terminated

That's handy info...

OK, this seems to be related to a known bug in either gstreamer, or pulseaudio... see here:

First, make SURE Synatic, Ubuntu Software Centre, and Update manager are ALL CLOSED.

Lets try adding the PPA mentioned and then updating those packages....

First let's install the ppa-purge package, so we can back out of the changes easily if necessary:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

If the above command fails with ANY errors, STOP NOW, and let me know... DO NOT carry on with the following instructions yet.


OK, now let's add the PPA:

Code: [Select]

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diwic/fighting-rewinds

then update the package cache and upgrade the system

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Now reboot, and check your audio.
