I don't know how relevant this is, but in case it helps - My Audigy card worked with 9.0 out-of-the-box. The front panel didn't. Following your post, I ran lsmod and found that emu-10k-1 wasn't loaded. A mod called audigy was, though. I then ran modprobe emu10*, and it loaded emu10k1-gp. I am listening to a cd as I work, and have noticed no difference since I loaded that module. I have always listened using xmms. HTH Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
