I'd suggest to download MEPIS 3.4.3 (LiveCD/installable Debian-based dirstro, www.mepis.org) - should recognize the card during boot, end user wouldn't have to edit a single line, KMix should pop up automatically when KDE is up and running. A nice distro by the way, I'm seriously considering switching to it, from now on will be closely related to Ubuntu. While that might be true, advising a user to install a brand new distro to make their soundcard work is a bit weird and especially telling them that for each time they install a new card is pretty extreme. His problem seems to be primarily the loading of oss moduels rather than alsa ones. Yes, the installation guis should probably handle everything even on Slackware. I didn't advise the guy to install a new distro. I have pointed out that it is BOTH LiveCD AND installable distro. And this distro, when run even as live CD, does see existing Linux partitions and can mount them RW. And the user can copy ALSA (or any other for that matter) configuration to his/her existing Linux partitions and then run his/her existing distro with the newly acquired configuration from a working setup. I once used this approach to resolve X11 configuration issue. So, my approach is not at all extreme and I would appreciate not misinterpreting my suggestions. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

He must remove oss modules in two ways: - removing them, maybe disabling them on kernel compilation or deleting them - blacklist them in /etc/modutils.d or similar (I use Debian, not Slackware, but you can find the equivalent directory easily).
