Thanks for the info Kevin. Your suggestion about IRQ conflicts is a great one. The soundcard and the onboard USB are both IRQ no. 11. Ooops. When the machine isn't busy, I'll attend to moving the card to a different slot. [I want my all SCSI systems back, sigh.]
As for having no trouble loading the modules, yes my system seems to load a heck of a lot of sound modules. But, one module mentioned on the ALSA website that doesn't work is 'modprobe snd-card-ymfpci'. I get 'modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-ymfpci' Maybe that's not important? Would you know? Can you modprobe that module? Thanks again!

The more verbose modules.conf method listed on the ALSA page gives me errors with Mandrake 9. I am using the same format you have above with different cards and have always had good results. You might also make sure that there are no harware conflicts with other PCI cards (try swapping PCI slots...I have had things like this crop up even randomly). "cat /proc/pci" can tell you if there is any unwanted sharing going on. As far as the "snd-ymfpci" specific issue you cited from the ALSA page, perhaps someone else who has this card can verify. However, it looks to me like you have gotten past this stage, since the modules do load without error. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
