The verbose info is here: http://opal.com/jr/snd_hda/default.txt The audio suffers from periodic "stutters", about 1 to 3 seconds in duration, occurring every minute or two, which as you might imagine is rather annoying. Doesn't seem to matter what the audio source is: mplayer, vlc, xfmedia or a web-based stream. The effect can be described something like this: "Where ever you are, you're wi-i-i-i-i-th the BBC in London". After it recovers, it will play fine again until the next glitch. Is this easily fixed? -jr
