well i have tried some different things using kernel 2.0.34...i ended up getting the oss drivers (the free download) and installing them. i then used the info i got from cat /proc/snd i believe or something close to this...and then configured the kernel driver to reflect the same and recompiled...SOUND WORKED!!! so left it and removed the oss and alsa and everything else....as i continued to use the sound however i notice that it is very crappy. =) the only things i am running is an extremely basic system and an lcd display manager program...(this computer is for a car mp3 player) and yet i still get static when the hard drive is used. the more processor i try to use the more static i get.... that is when i try to run a couple medium size commands and sometimes multiple instances, i get more static that if i just have the display running...and this is the type of static that is not from interference from the HD, but the type of static that results because the resources are not available (the sound file starts to slow down and distort...) i am currently upgrading to 2.0.36 so that i can also have better apm support so as to turn off after a halt and i am trying to install the alsa sound drivers....i have two problems that i will ask about in the next mail.... josh ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
