thanks for the tip, but it doesnt work for me: I have a soundblaster live -> sndconfig finds it, but the soundtest or modprobe? shows an error: .../emu10k1.0: init_module: Device o resource busy .../emu10k1.0: insmod .../emu10k1.0 failed .../emu10k1.0: insmod sound-slot-0 failed fyi: the card is using irq 9 together with usb If I try to configure it manually I can not select irq or dma or... When I select the soundblaster 16 or pro or any of them, I can select an irq,... but this results in a core dump Any idea?
