No help here (besides did you make sure the mixer is unmuted, not just turned up??) , but I have a cmi8738 card that the FM works on, but the output is seriously jumbled up. Haven't had time to track down the problem with it. There is a note on the ALSA Wiki about this problem, but a previous post of mine asking if anyone had a working CMI8738 OPL3 that sounded correct met with no response. -- Ryan Underwood, <nemesis at icequake.net>, icq=10317253 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
