Hmm, sounds to me like you have some hardware problems. I presume you'd notice if there were any blatant physical problems with the motherboard - I looked at one of my old ones a few weeks ago that had been stashed in the closet for several years and some capacitors on a video card had leaked their contents into the AGP slot. Kind of explained why the AGP slot didn't work anymore! If you boot a live Linux CD like Sidux, does it still have the problems? -- David gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx authenticity, honesty, community _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
