here's my computer setup. it's a compaq 233 model 4550 with an onboard sound (ess audio drive 1887) chip and a sound blaster live! pci card. I can't get into or I don't know how to get to the bios to disable the onbard sound card. I'm trying to get alsa to work. I download alsaconf-0.4.3b.tar.gz from ftp.braille.uwo.ca/pub/linux/goodies uploaded by ryan mann and it supposedly configured /etc/modules.conf which when I looked it was configured, but the drivers still don't work. I've compiled th drivers libs and utils I compiled the drivers about 4 or 5 times but the libs and utils were unchanged because I didn't think it was necessary to keep recompiling them. I've tried the card 0 and card 1 id's for the sound cards and nothing worked. Does any one have a similar setup to mine? Also, could I just take the hd the net card and the sb live and get my 486 upgraded and put the parts into it so it'd only have 1 sound card? Any suggestions/help would be helpful. I've had any number of people looking at this thing. Compaq burning party right? phone: 4 0 7 3 0 2 97 29 Thanks. web site: http://www.westonj.f2s.com
