I=20 have ac97 enabled in the bios, pnp os off. I boot with nobiospnp in=20 lilo.conf. All that I did with regards to sound was to make sure I had these=20 settings, change /etc/modules.conf as detailed before. After I had=20 rebooted, I changed the volumes using kmix. midi does not seem to work for me, and "Configure KDE"->info->sound gives= =20 me the same 2 lines as you get about synth and midi. I have alsa and sound start as services at boot time. I'm using devfs.
This is all I can think of, wish I could do more to help. Narfi.
