Right. My first attempt was without an fixed IRQ and it ends with: ALSA cs5530.c:445: unable to grab IRQ 0 But the usage of fixed IRQ 5 in my code seems to work. Ok, I will have a look into the manual, maybe I find some hints. martin ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
