No onboard sound card and /proc/interrupts doesn't show any conflicts. One other strange thing though. Harddrake shows the card under 'Unknown/Other' although it's correctly identified as SB Live! (audio) and has the correct driver (snd-emu10k1). I may try moving it to another slot and let harddrake reconfigure it to see if it makes a difference. I hate to reinstall just to solve this. > > Joeb -- Thomas K. Gamble Los Alamos National Laboratory Advanced Diagnostics & Instrumentation (C-ADI) p:505-665-4323 f:505-665-4267 MS-E543
