Greetings, I am running 7.1, and after tweeking the isapnp.conf file for a few hours, I can now boot into linux with no errrors. I can control the volume of the sound card, and the line in is working, but I cannot play any wavs or mp3s. When I run hard rake, the card is not deteced, and show up as a "genric comp. SB" and when I try and change the configuration to the proper card, IRQ and DMA, I............ USED to get "error allocating 4 bytes at ....".... but just now, I heard the test sample!!! Oh dear. Anyway,now, when I run xmms, the cursor won't move forward when I try and play a file. If I however, move the cursor, I can get small bursts of the file to play. thanks in advance for the help! I am running a: pentium 3 Intel motherboard 128meg of ram Soundblaster AWE32 Matrox G200 ./akin
