The output was what you would expect, lots info about HDA drivers and 
hardware:

lspci -vnn | sed '/Audio/,/driver/!d'

However, grepping dmesg was interesting:

# grep HDA /var/log/dmesg

/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input13

No output about the speakers. On another system (that works) I see:

[   20.712891] input: HDA Intel Rear Mic as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input5 
[   20.712984] input: HDA Intel Front Mic as

[   20.713097] input: HDA Intel Line as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input7 
[   20.713185] input: HDA Intel Line Out as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input8

I think Line Out is a speaker. So why the difference?

Thanks
Robin
