Woops, sorry, I'm not sure where I got the USB idea from then. lsmod | grep snd-mia should show something, if not then the snd-mia driver module is not loaded and a... modprobe snd-mia should load it and then repeat the previous command to confirm it is loaded, or not. If the module is loaded and the aplay -l command still does not show anything other than the onboard card then it still may need firmware to be loaded as well as the kernel alsa driver module (snd-mia in this case, I presume). Another suggestion is to try http://ubuntustudio.org/ as I think it's possible to upgrade via apt and it should have the mechanism to load your sound card properly. --markc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
