Doing some more testing I discovered that the motherboard sound hardware was still active. I guess I mixed up normal practice between add-on cards and motherboards. When I put an nVidia card in my machine the motherboard video hardware was automatically disabled. Not so with sound. I rebooted with a stop in the BIOS first, where I disabled the motherboard sound hardware. Now the Sound Blaster works. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
