Hi All, I have been wrestling with this problem for months now and at my wits end. The sound is always very low and if I try to bring the sound louder by using the sound references icon on the top panel, the sound is choppy with lots of static. Output of lspci for the sound device is as follows: 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) Please, could someone help me out to get this irritating problem solved? Thank you for your time, Phil
