Check in your BIOS there should be an option to disable it. | sndconfig detects only the soundcard on my motherboard and configures |it. The hardware browser shows that both soundcards exist and |therefore I suppose that it's installed properly. What do I do? Unless the sblive modules are loaded (check the output of lsmod) the card will not be usable under linux. Haven't used the kernel drivers in over 2 years now!! :-) So am not sure how they work .. and plus the official VIA drivers (my onboard card) are incapable of allowing 2 sound cards. (Am not sure if it's a limitation of the via driver or the kernel drivers) if you manage to load both the sound card drivers ... you can make apps use the second card by default.. rm /dev/audio ; ln -s /dev/audio1 /dev/audio rm /dev/dsp ; ln -s /dev/dsp1 /dev/dsp rm /dev/mixer ; ln -s /dev/mixer1 /dev/mixer The alsa drivers work fabulously they allow you to configure the stuff !! Changing ... alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via686a alias snd-card-1 snd-card-emu10k1 to .. alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1 alias snd-card-1 snd-card-via686a would make the SB Live to be the first card! [irrelevant lines from modules.conf have been left out] BTW midi output from the SB Live rocks!! :-) [Vinu, if you are still on the list ... will mail you the details in a while! ] Kingsly _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
