It seems to be an IRQ problem. aplay -lLv returns no souncards. as does /proc/asound/cards. dmesg|grep PCI gives ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKD] enabled at IRQ 11 PCI: setting IRQ 11 as level-triggered ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:07.2[D] -> Link [LNKD] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5 shpchp: Standard Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.4 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0d.0[A] -> Link [LNKD] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:0d.0 disabled Yamaha DS-1 PCI: probe of 0000:00:0d.0 failed with error -13 Which looks like the usb controller is getting the irq rather than the sound card. cat /proc/interupts|grep 11 11: 0 XT-PIC uhci_hcd:usb1 Don't know if I'm barking up the wrong tree here, but I assume I could blacklist usbcore (which I'm not having much luck doing), or would I need to reconfigure the bios?
