I appreciate the pointers that I get just reading this list. It's an education I never would have gotten, thanks! I came to the party late by installing beta2 3 days after it was available. I've downloaded the ISOs for beta4 but haven't bothered since it seems just as easy (or more so) to keep updated through cooker. Will that make any difference? The system is current as of 12:54 MDT. I was wondering what all the shouting was about with the betas and SB Live; since I have a Live Value Digital out CT 4830 in this box and it's worked since 7.2 Freq install, so I started snooping/fiddling. It seems I was using the OSS (kernel) emu10k1 drivers all along. When I did my daily (or more) updates a couple hours ago I had to do the devfsd upgrade thing so I also switched to alsa and rebooted, upgraded everything available then changed lilo back, ran lilo, and rebooted again. I'm listening to the ogg files I've stashed on the "multi media" hard drive and it sounds better, and is cleaner and sharper, than anything ever has from this system. Digital out is working and if this ain't surround sound it's one hell of an emulation! My Altec Lansings and I are happy. I can tell 'cause the neighbors are p'oed about the "noise." :-) Not to belittle anyone's trouble but this works as the instructions here have stated. For me anyway. Outstanding job on 9.0 so far and it looks to get only better if that's possible. Thank you all!
