Hi Jim You said that you did configure the alsa-drivers --with-isapnp=yes. Is this correct? I am not sure if this is the problem or not but it might be worth a shot to configure --with-cards=awe --with-isapnp=no. Then of course you will have to configure the isapnp utils to put your card in it's proper location. HTH -- Frank Carmickle phone: 412 761-9568 email: frankiec at dryrose.com
