Hi Greg. I haven't been following this thread so maybe this is irrelevant. With the sblive you don't have to put in parameters in modules.conf or in /etc/modutils/alsa 8in debian) but for my sb16 when I had one, it was not plug and play and I had to have a line with all the io and irq and dma info. Sorry i don't still have an example to send you. could that be your problem? Cheryl
