That link is useful. I've been trying to find out what the mm stood for. And I have sound working now. As it turns out I think I needed to compile in not only: <*> EMU10K1 (SB Live! & Audigy, E-mu APS) but... <*> (Creative) Ensoniq AudioPCI 1370 <*> (Creative) Ensoniq AudioPCI 1371/1373 aswell. Now I'm off to get jack running but I've had really bad form with that and the 2.6 Q. With the 2.4 kernel, low-latency was seen to be working by going: cat /proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency but now all I get is: root@upstairs linux # cat /proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency cat: /proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency: No such file or directory How does the 2.6 use low-latency audio? Is it buried deep amongst the features now, and working by default? Thanks.
