Thanks, a few more questions.. sorry I don't understand most of this.. 1) hda-verb - I can't find this.. what is it? Where do I run it? 2) Inside of the snapshot, there are three steps (6, 7,8 below) that I need help with.. 6 - i already have /dev/snd with some stuff in it... so, I won't run this step.. 7 - edit it to do what? 8 - I dont know the name of my card.. 6) Run the './snddevices' script to create new sound devices in /dev directory. Skip this step, if you have already /dev/snd/* files, or if you're using a DEVFS or udev. 7) Edit your kernel module config (either /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modules.conf, depending on the kernel version). If you are not sure, what to do, you may try the alsaconf script available in the alsa-utils package. 8) Run 'modprobe snd-xxxx' where xxxx is the name of your card. Note: All ALSA ISA drivers support ISA PnP natively, so you don't need isapnptools any more. Don't use both together. It will conflict. For disabling the ALSA ISA PnP support, specify --with-isapnp=no configure switch.
