Awesome....thanks for the tip (see output below) - it's the slmodemd process - must be for the 56k modem that's built into this laptop. I remember "enabling" the Hardware Driver for the modem, shortly after installing Karmic... perhaps that's when the sound stopped working for me too. One more question, I now have sound but it's very quiet, even with the volume level set very high. Is there something I can do to fix that? Also, what's the best way go about stopping the slmodemd from loading, or otherwise keeping it from stepping on the pulseaudio?
