OK, here's the problem. I bought a Compaq Presario (I know, first mistake
;-))5834 about a year ago. Now way back then, I didn't know anything about
the evils of integrated soundcards, vid cards, or anything else. By now I
do, but I still am not sure what to do about this: I just bought a
Soundblaster Live! Platinum 5.1, which absolutely rocks in
Winbitesmyfatwhiteass, but doesn't work in Linux right now.
Now, I believe theres a conflict, because when I disabled the stock
integrated soundcard (with help from Compaq Tech Support), I did it from
Safe Mode, not the BIOS. When I booted into Linux, Kudzu detected and
configured the SB Live!, but when I look at Harddrake, I can see both the
SB Live! and the old one (ESS Solo1 Audiodrive). And when Linux is booting
up, I see it saying its starting sound module es1933 or something like
that, which I believe is the ESS soundcard.
Can anyone tell me what to do about this?
Thanks! :-)
