[ snip: /dev/sndstat also only shows the VIA card ] > Dragon:~# cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound > alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 > options snd-emu10k1 index=0 The problem might be that snd-via82xx gets loaded first and assigned index 0. This would block snd-emu10k1 from having that index and ALSA might not handle this situation gracefully. Loading firmware is another thing that can go wrong, although I would not expect to see the EMU10k1 module listed at all in that case. Try to add the following two lines to /etc/modprobe.d/sound: alias snd-card-1 snd-via82xx options snd-via82xx index=1 Then reboot and check if /proc/asound/cards lists the EMU10k1. Also check the output of "dmesg | grep emu10k1" for error messages. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
