Did you need to configure the sound card after each linux reboot (maybe with a script) ?Egad! What? No way man. There is alsactl save/restore for this.Good luck,--Amos

I also recommend to upgrade your kernel - the newer kernels work with newer ALSA drivers, and latest ALSAs have much better functionality and stability then older versions (0.9 for kernel 2.6.5, IIRC ?) -- Oded ::..
