Hi there ALSA people,

I'm very new to Linux, running an eee pc 1000H withLinux Easypeasy 1.5 and the new skype beta. I love my USB headset - I'm frequently on international skype conference calls and on other operating systems I've found that nothing else gives me a clear sound.

But I am apparently missing the usb-snd-audio driver, as it doesn't come packaged with Easypeasy, so my beloved headset won't function. Skype audio is generally also really crackly when i'm using the normal microphone and speakers, but i think that's a different problem.

Does anyone out there have step-by-step instructions on how to add the snd-usb-audio driver? I've found no user-friendly 'how to' online, despite hours trawling (and posting on) forums...

I would *so* love some help or even a response telling where else I should be looking for help...
