(cant remember the correct commandline for that; there is some gui-too as well, network control iirc) read this very good page about configuring linux for audio (not specifically for laptop though): http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR.html the irq section is here: http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/Arcana.html#IRQs hope this gives you some insight. gr, ALEX. ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
