[arm-allstar] Audio Failure

[Joe S. Borovetz]

I agree...it is probably a config file. I have been through the simple 
usb menu.

Also I did word it wrong, the problem was on the card not the card itself.

Just for fun, I will probably look around and see if I can find 
something that looks suspicious. In the mean time, I will continue 
working on the new install that I started.
