Hi, Been messing around with my new Delta 1010 LT some...I see improvements in the 2.6.7 kernel but even using all of the patches provided in the kernel on Thac's, it still does not provide as stable performance on my rig as the 2.4 kernel. This kernel has the 0.9.8 alsa drivers which dont allow Envy24control to run and surely have less efficiency and functionality than the latest and greatest. After I download and compile the latest alsa set, what needs to be done to have those drivers load automagically instead of the older drivers? Hopefully not a recompiled kernel? I'm not even near the experience level to attempt that yet. Thanks as always! R~
