Thanks Bill, I checked under W$ and it's running the card at irq 5, so I added the line:
options snd-card-ice1712 irq=5 to modules.conf. modprobe fails after that with: /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/misc/snd-card-ice1712.o: invalid parameter parm_irq I think maybe I'll have to re-install the alsa driver as it sounds like something in the way it was set up is dictating the irq. If you have any more thoughts they are welcome. Otherwise I'll re-read the alsa docs and look in that direction. thanks again Brian On Fri, 2002-03-15 at 11:41, Bill Davidson wrote: > Have a look at /etc/modules.conf.
