Comment 39 for bug 25632

I have audio problem withh all of my machines - asus 2007 "pundit" and barebone p1-ah2, ausus 2007 "nvidia business platform" amd board with Analog Devices AD1986A and also with my phenom board from gigabyte. sometimes the atom-based netbook also makes problems. The whole sound thing in ubuntu is too complex with all the different tools and apps.

However, I would like to thantk squalu for reminding me, because watch for

Mode: consumer
Data: non-audio <- here we go
Rate: 48000 Hz
Copyright: permitted
Emphasis: none
Category: PCM coder
Original: original
