Exactly which software did you download, and from where. And what were the problems reported in the compile? Remember that alsa is now part of the kernel, and since it is kernel code you MUST have the source code for the precise kernel you are running installed on your machine. This is the kernel-source*.i386.rpm that you must have installed on your system. > > Most of documentation seems to related to 2.0 and 2.2 kernels.

Recent version of the kernel have alsa included. Now the most recent version of alsa may be needed for your particular card, but again you have given no info. It is probably that your card will already work out of the box. > > -Brooke > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
