I installed fedora 7 so I'd have the kernel and alsa I need for the EMU 1212M PCI soundcard. I installed the card. I tried opening alsa mixer to see if the soundcard is recognized and got: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device I went into the BIOS to make sure the onboard soundcard is disabled. I don't see anything that looks like the old soundcard (or the new one): Onboard Devices>parallel irq 7 >serial irq 4 >serial irq 3 >diskette irq 6 PCI Devices>VGA ctrlr irq 5 >IDE ctrlr Enabled >USB ctrlr irq 11 >eth ctrlr irq 5 >Creative Labs device irq 10 >Creative Labs 1394 ctrlr irq 11 Seems I'm sharing IRQs between devices. Or am I way off base where I'm looking for trouble? Am I wrong in thinking that alsamixer would see my card as the kernel and alsa versions are sufficient for it?
