Takashi (and All), thanks for you help but I still cant get it to work... I downloaded the latest RC7 and built with --with-debug=detect on the configure line. ./utils/alsaconf finds the OPL3SA2 but the module still wont load. One of the messages ends with detect=0xFF or the like I'm sorry, I forgot the exact line. How do i tell the pnp Id ? pnpdump has a line with YMH0800/-1 in it and there are lots of YMH0020 and YMH0021's floating around but as I'm a bit of a newbie I'm not quite sure where to look ! Thanks again to all for your help. Is there anything else I can do ?
