Follow-up to this posting. By visiting http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-x86_64/atrpms/stable/ I discovered that Axel is still compiling the ALSA 1.0.20 version of the drivers. After removing the 1.0.23 package that yum defaulted to and manually installing the 1.0.20 version, the USB sound device is now working. Has anyone heard of problems with 1.0.23? _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
