Thanks for the reply, Mark.  I have read the post on the link you 
provided and see the "patched code" at the bottom of it.  However, I am 
a bit of a novice when it comes to patching and recompiling drivers.  
Can you lend me any assistance on how I can retrieve the patch 
(download?, copy & paste to new file?, etc.), apply the patch and 
recompile the driver to create a kernel module?

I hope this will correct my audio issues on my laptop.  I appreciate you 
posting this information and look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Jeff Cross
