Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, i've tried/done both of those things. "modprobe trident" Failing that, i tried sndconfig, which produced simliar results. The sound card is reported successfully configured, but it doesn't work. Could it be that i'm having a conflict of some sort (interrupts or something)?

Also, if you need a "wizard" to do it for you, just run "apt-get install sndconfig" and then run the sndconfig app once it's installed - it's a ncurses program. Hope that helps.
