Paul, I have no idea from the above why it isn't working, and my situation is two different sound systems here, one the original ac97 lookalike in the nforce2 chipset, the other is an audigy2. I wanted them to be 100% independent, with the audigy2 doing the majority of the sound work, and the motherboards chipset serving only for skype use. I have accomplished that, and I'll attempt to show how I've done it in hopes there might be a usefull clue for you someplace in this. First, I don't have an 'asound.conf' and never have had one. Second I had to install the latest at the time, version of /usr/src/alsa/alsa-lib-1.0.11rc2/ via tarball & build. I'm told this is very important. Third, here is the revelant section of my /etc/modprobe.conf --------------- # sound stuff, subject to heavy mods in future # For Alsa # 1st, make the SB Live / SB Audigy 2 the default alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 # 2nd, and then skype can use /dev/dsp1 alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0 # For Alsa's Oss emulation? alias snd-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias snd-slot-1 snd-card-1 # Alsa's Oss emulation # supposedly for emu10k1/SBLive Value/Audigy 2 Value stuff alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # supposedly for nforce2's ac97 crap # But somethings fubar here yet. alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss # But, whats this? alias char-major-116-* snd alias char-major-14-* sound install synth0 /bin/true # end of sound ---------------- And it Just Works. Hopefully there might be a clue here. And I should mention that I'm running very late kernels, currently 2.6.16-rc4. Also the, because skype is busted, I have to run it by useing 'skype_dsp_hijacker --2nd' as the actual command to launch it in the icon that fires it off. Otherwise it sends the audio from the audigy2. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
