Hello, my MB is QDI KinetiZ 7E-A with VIA KT133A/686B chipset from Year 2001, BIOS from 2004, with one ISA slot. On this slot I was using before also ISA NIC - without problems. And - as I wrote, in Windows XP I have NO PROBLEMs to use these ISA sound cards, also it could not by a HW problem with my MB/whatever. The module is snd-sbawe (see also my another post). Ubuntu use PulseAudio - but what can this have points in common with my problem ? At the end also PulseAudio sends his output to ALSA card/driver exactly as other application would ? Or not ?
