Hi Brent - Thanks for that information. That seemed to get my modules loaded okay, but I am still not finding the sblive card. Could you please tell me what your aliases are in "modules.cond" or whatever your system calls it? Yes, I guess the isapnp was overkill - I scrubbed that option and it made no difference. When I examine the pci devices with "cat /proc/pci" the card is shown with interrupt 10 and address 0xdc00-0xdc01. But my modules can't find it. When I use "lsmod" it shows the sound modules loaded okay, so I think the problem must be in the aliases... Tha;nks - Chuck.
