I installed some time ago a MCP61 on etch. First time, it was not 'out of the box', needed to had a line in alsa.conf. But later alsa drivers was updated and the sound carte was installable with alsaconf without any problem. This was about a year ago. So it should still work now. Sorry I can give more explanation, I dont have that MB any longer. But it is at a friend place, and I can eventually go there and have a look, but not today, maybe tomorrow.... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
