i got my new sound card today. It tests fine in Windows XP. Now i want to get it working in Linux. (i've heard rumors that the alsa driver hasn't been updated for the latest firmware.) i'm running kernel 2.5.66 (alsa 0.9.2). My card is marked "Dec 2002 Rev 1.3". snd_hammerfall_mem allocates memory for 1 card. The hdsp driver seems to load without errors, but the card doesn't appear under /proc/asound/. If there is a patch available then point me to it and i'll test it. Thanks ... -- Victory to the Divine Mother!! after all, http://sahajayoga.org http://why-compete.org
