[Techtalk] KDE: the saga continues

[Raven Brooke]

hahah! check this out:

In an effort to debug the sound problem, I hooked up the 
amplifier/speakers, and noticed the familiar hum 'til I wiggled the 
connector just right: "hhmmm, bad ground; need to replace the card soon" I 
thought.

Well, one thought led to another, removed the card and KDE started just 
fine.

Swapped in an identical card, this one fresh out of the box, and 
everything's peachy -- it was an elusive hardware problem all along.

Thanks for all your help  : )
