I just did a re-install of 7.2 on my freshly re-formatted drives (which used to have 7.1 on them, but the upgrade left a big mess). I still have assorted problems which didn't exist in 7.1. Sound is very annoying. It clicks and pops when effects are played. When playing CD's it is distorted and sometimes just drops out altogether. I was hoping a clean install would fix things, but no luck. Here is the error I get on startup: kernel: isapnp: Card 'CS4236B' kernel: isapnp: 1 Plug & Play card detected total kernel: ad1848/cs4248 codec driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 kernel: cs4232: dma, dma2, irq and io must be set. modprobe: /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/cs4232.o: modprobe: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters modprobe: init_module: Device or resource busy modprobe: /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/cs4232.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/cs4232.o failed modprobe: /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/cs4232.o: insmod cs4232 failed sound: Loading sound module (cs4232) failed And when doing a insmod after startup from root, I get this: insmod cs4232 Using /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/cs4232.o insmod: a module named cs4232 already exists And then in messages, after startup the following errors are reported: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4 - maybe not related? modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-180 - maybe not related? kernel: ad1848/cs4248 codec driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 Nov 20 09:32:20 wwilson modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-3 kernel: ad1848/cs4248 codec driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 Nov 20 09:50:33 wwilson modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-3 And in kernel/errors I found this: cs4232: dma, dma2, irq and io must be set.

I can hear things, but lots of loud pops, faint and scratchy sound. I have systematically gone through all the setting and while many of them work, none work better than these.
