Hi Raul, Don't know if this will help, but maybe... I'm attaching my alsa configuration that gets put into the /etc/modules files by update-modules (Debian). I'm no expert in this but it works for my SB AWE64 ISA pnp using isapnp.conf, configuring alsa driver --with-isapnp=no. HTH --terry You wrote: -=> Hi Kirk and everyone.
