On my machine the SB driver complains that there is an IRQ conflict and then tells me that I have only 8-bit sound. There shouldn't be any conflict with the IRQ (I even tried several different free ones). I've got a Siemens 510AGP with the same chip set and am using RH6.0 with a 2.2.10 kernel. jonathan
