Hey guys, Sorry, looks like the joy is premature. This is the kernel I built with the driver edited in accordance with the specifications posted earlier. http://pastebay.com/71091 (dmesg, and here's the bit about the last boot from /var/log/messages - it seems to include more information than plain dmesg output) http://pastebay.com/71092 (looks like there's some jiggery-pokery going on with my hard drives as well, but I don't think these problems are related). On a side note, I've managed to tamper with the WinXP installer and got me a minimal WinXP installation running off a flash drive - it loads the firmware, and I'm capable of rebooting into Ubuntu with loaded firmware which is then used by snd-usb-audio. I know it's cheating, but . . . well, at least now I know the card itself didn't expire of some unknown hardware ailment over the couple of months that I wasn't using it. Ideas? Mick. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
