Hi! I found a solution, but only for my first problem. Both cards are working with my original 2.6.4 kernel, and alsa 1.0.2. First I put the cards next to each other to the PCI slots. When the first problem occurs, (one card worked, but the second behaved a little bit strange), I removed one card. The problem stayed. (card found by the kernel, but the mixer program, can't adjust the devices). At this point I change kernel, alsa etc, but the card remained in the same PCI slot. Now I put the card to an another slot, and it started working. After that put back the other one, but not to the first card's place, but to a new PCI slot. And it started working too. So, both cards are working. :) I don't understand, what was the problem. The mainboard's PCI bus system behave interesting. I looked into the documentation, but didn't find anything suitable.... Thanks anyone who helped me... Janos Makadi 2008/2/20, Janos Makadi <syberia01@xxxxxxxxx>: > Hello! > > I have a system which has to run, with two soundcard.
