Re: Confused about sound servers
Don't use both device pcm and the .ko modules. The sound won't work at all or, if it does, not properly. You may not even have any keyboard beeps (^G's) if both are loaded. Get rid of the device pcm and just load the modules. KDE comes with artsd as it's sound server; some people love it, some people hate it and some people (like me) both love and hate it :) Make sure you are loading the correct .ko file for your card, I'm not sure that snd_emu10k.ko is the correct one, but I could be wrong.
