Here is what I get using  'cat /proc/asound/cards':

0 [I82801DBICH4   ]: ICH4 - Intel 82801DB-ICH4
                     Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with STAC9750,51 at 0xf0080400, 
irq 5

This is what 'aplay -l' gives me:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel 
82801DB-ICH4]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 4: Intel ICH - IEC958 
[Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - IEC958]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

When I check under /dev/snd/ I do not find an entry for usb-audio, so I 
assume this means that the snd-usb-audio module is not loading at boot. 
Is this the problem?

Thanks for your help, Len,

Dominic
