I've been trying to get my soundcard to work now for weeks, well off and on. I've been on this list getting help, lots of good suggestions, but nothing has worked. I started to load ALSA, but the first thing the HOWTO said was to turn off all the other sound drivers. Number two was to be sure "soundcore" was running. Ok, stage is set. How do I make sure that I've turned off all the other sound drivers (I have a "classic" SB16 ISA -PNP card)? "snd" is currently running, I think that I can turn that off. But is there anything else? The second part has me stumped. I cannot find the soundcore module anywhere on my computer. It is listed in the modules.dep file as required for several modules (that I'm not running). ALSA was automatically installed when I installed M 8.0. I would guess that if soundcore was only required for ALSA it would have been installed also??? Is soundcore required for normal non-ALSA sound? BTW, I have the following hardware AMD K6-II at 420 MHZ ASUS P5A motherboard 160 MB RAM 20 gig Maxtor HD CD and CD-RW -(both work fine) NVidia TNT2 32 MB Realtek NIC and SoundBlaster 16 ISAPNP. Worked fine in Windows. Thanks, Linus -------------------------------------------------------
