o, I thought the epprom settings are default until the driver kicks in... So I set the jumpers accordingly and still no luck: IDESEL: 1-2 (Disabled - Its the CD IDE ON\OFF) JMPCFG: 1-2 (EPPROM ON) JMPB0: 1-2 (22XH) IDEIRQ: 1 (IRQ 15 - shouldn't make a different) JX1: 2-3 (Carbon MIC - again just letting you know though it shouldn't make a different) This should make sense with the picture I sent earlier... I also removed another card I had connected - ISA Modem, Just making sure their are no conflicts... Here's the grim results: sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1 FATAL: Error inserting snd_sb8 (/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb8.ko): No such device P.S: Also an interesting note is that I now installed Win98 on top of that Dos and it worked too - It did also mention to use IRQ 11 so I also reserved in the bios, but again to no avail. Maybe I'm missing something ?
