Hi Kirk and everyone. Well I hope to get this working. I'd like to get to play sounds and eventually use Linux to get on the reflecter.. I've configured isapnp.conf and when I run the isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf line I do get an ok. I've edited the modules.conf to alias the correct module snd-sbawe on irq 5 etc to match what is in isapnp.conf. Now when I try to modprobe snd-card-0 or modprobe snd-card-sbawe I get the device or resource busy error. I've checked the kernel and sound itself is a module and nothing else is compiled in. As I speak I'm remaking alsa with the --with-card=sbawe and --with-isapnp=no as suggested as well. Once again, thanks for any help offered. Raul A.
