Thanks for all the info. Even though the cards are ordered correctly in /proc/asound/cards, I think there is some conflict going on between snd-intel8x0, and snd-hda-intel (which appears to be being loaded due to this sound component on your new graphics card). I say this because if you look at snd-hwdep on your lsmod above, it shows as below. snd_hwdep 7492 1 snd_hda_intel It should be showing snd-intel8x0, not snd-hda-intel, and I think if you removed your new graphics card, and rebooted, you would find that is so, and your sounds would come back. The answer I believe is to prevent snd-hda-intel being loaded when you bootup. There's a couple of things, I'd suggest. 1st: If you have an /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file, blacklist snd_hda_intel. This doesn't always work though, so, as an alternative. 2nd: Create an entry in /etc/modprobe.conf as below. install snd_hda_intel /bin/true This should load the module in /bin/true where it can't do anything at all. See if either of those resolves the problem. Another alternative is to rename/remove the snd_hda_intel module in /lib/modules for your kernel, and this way the kernel will not be able to load it, because it won't be able to find it. All the best. Nigel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
