I'm currently running an audigy 2, bare bones and it all works includeing the midi synth. By fiddling with the modprobe.conf entries, and using a proggy called skype_hijack_dsp, all the regular audio comes out of the audigy 2, and skype uses the motherboard audio as snd-card-1 etc. You will need the latest -rc2 alsalib though. I currently have these alsa-isms installed on an old FC2 system, kernel 2.6.16-rc5: alsa-utils-1.0.11rc2-1 alsa-lib-devel-1.0.3a-2 alsa-driver-1.0.11rc2-1 alsa-lib-1.0.11rc2-1 The alsa-lib-devel is leftovers. But rpm gets a tummy ache if I tell it to remove it. Theoreticly its broken, but it works anyway. :) >-- >Josh Lawrence >http://www.hardbop200.com -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
