Assuming it's a PCI card, and your bios is set up correctly, then the driver will be able to determine the values it needs. Still, please find belo the relevant section from my /etc/modules.conf. Part of it was sent to me by someone on thiss list I think, sorry can't remember who but they probably know who they are. Anyway, it orked for me, all you then need to do is look at the amixer man page, as you need to enable the sound card channels manually. I would then also recommend putting alsactl store somewhere in your shutdon scripts, and alsactl restore in your startup scripts so you don't need to do this each time, look at man alsactl for more info. #Sound config begins. alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1 options snd-card-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id="sblive!" # OSS/Free setup alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss #Sound config ends. -- Toby Fisher Email: toby at g0ucu.freeserve.co.uk Tel.: +44(0)1480 417272 Mobile: +44(0)7974 363239 ICQ: #61744808
