The error is pretty much what's happening: you have an IRQ conflict. If you have an ISA card, is there something that's already on the IRQ line? If you have a PCI card, is there something that is hogging the IRQ? >I can play CD's without a problem. How can I find out what the >problem is and how to solve it? CD Direct Audio (CDDA) makes the bus irrelevant. The only thing that can stop CDDA from going out to the speaker is a loss of power to the card (usually from a loss of power to the entire computer...) or a broken wire. To find out your IRQ problems, first take a look at /proc/interrupts, and also the dmesg output. Change the IRQ on the sound card to something you KNOW isn't taken or change whatever else is trying to use the sound card's IRQ to something else. This may require a trip to the BIOS to reserve an IRQ or two in hardware. >Johann > -- Customer: "I'm running Windows '98" Tech: "Yes." Customer: "My computer isn't working now."
