At least I had a terrible time with that card on my 8.1 machine. the best i could do with it was intermittent service. the one thing i noticed it was having trouble with was exactly what you're describing only in my case it turned out to be a permission problem. i don't know if thats what your case is. check the ownership of /tmp/mcop-$USERNAME. it should be owned by you. in my case it was still owned by root and this was causing me to have to redo the install of the card from Mandrake Control Center everytime I would boot the work station to get sound to work. -- daRcmaTTeR Registered Linux User 182496 Mandrake 8.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1:05pm up 4:46, 2 users, load average: 0.22, 0.34, 0.43
