Okay, I reinstalled FC3 and now alsamixer runs and sees the Audiophile 2496. I have yet to see if sound comes out of it, but I'll get to that. I guess that my first attempt to install the OSS driver screwed up everything. Also I was confused because during the installation it reported that it had found "a" soundcard, the onboard one. The installation and hardware setup never mentioned the 2496.. but for some reason alsamixer comes up like that. Thanks for the help, everyone. -Mike
