[snip] WilliamI've had no problems with 7.1 and my Creative PCI128 Sound Blaster. It uses the es1370 module and was such a no-brainer at install that I didn't even know it had automatically installed and configured the module. In fact I just installed a 2nd 7.1 on some spare harddrive space and had exactly the same experience as the first time. The only thing I had to do was to turn on system sounds in the KDE Control Panel (and associate some sounds with system events). I've no experience with 7.2 as I connect at 28,800. Alan

try "sndconf" or maybe its "sndconfig" has always worked for me. --- Guillaume Rousse [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: William H Bouterse a écrit : I would like to hear from anyone who had a completely trouble-free install of 7.1 or cooker/7.2 with sb based audio cards, or any audio cards for that matter!

Sv: [Cooker] SB, ALSA ,OSS-Free and Mandrake
No problem with SoundBlaster 16 PnP. After installing Mandraker 7.1 (as well Mandrake 7.0) I used HardDrake to change IO's. All other hardware was found during installation proces, and only Mandrake can do it (printer, modem, even graphics card - neither Micro$oft Win98 nor Win2000 could find Graphic Blaster PCI (Verite 1000 chip)). Mandrake is simply the best Linux-Distro. Regards, - Original Message - From: William H Bouterse [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 15, 2000 7:22 AM Subject: [Cooker] SB, ALSA ,OSS-Free and Mandrake Once again I am wondering what is going on here. Consistently over the years Sound Blaster Cards 16,32 and 64 etc. had been the most consistant in being recognized and configured by all Linux Distributions. As of 7.1 the ratio of failures compared to successes has increased at an alarming rate. Yes I was able to get mine working after alot of hacking around from past experience, but this is totally unacceptable for inexperienced users. I am beginning to recommend to clients that they try L-M 7.0 or even 6.1 if they want a basic sb, user workstation install. Without outside help. This doesnt seem right. I would like to hear from anyone who had a completely trouble-free install of 7.1 or cooker/7.2 with sb based audio cards, or any audio cards for that matter! What kind of hardware setup did you have? What kind of audio-card? Did sound work from the "get-go"? Please email me privately if this would be the right way to go about this .?! I still am pounding around with L-M 7.1 /cooker and enjoying the rapid ups and downs as long as I remember to keep a default working system handy !:) William Bouterse Talkeetna Ak
