Comment 29 for bug 1296373

@Adam:

I've more or less got the basic functions straightened out in 14.04 Lu on
my iBook, so sometime in the next couple weeks I'll probably be finding
time to mess around with sound . . . it has been the least of my worries.
But, might have mentioned before that in the pre or post splash error list
is something about "i2sbus" . . . .

I'll have to read through this material and/or the forum posts to figure
out what I need to do, I'll post back when something is more clear or not .
. . . If there are some commands that you need me to run on my iBook . . .
happy to do that . . . you would just have to spell them out for me . . .
. : - )))) Machine is at home, I'm at work, but easy enough to do, etc.
