I turned that off, but Control Center still couldn't configure it. I tried sndconfig and it worked! Thanks everyone for your help.

That's even more interesting seeing as how I haven't recompiled the kernel. It's the 2.4.8 kernel that was released as a security patch a few weeks ago... -Eric On October 27, 2001 03:00 pm, you wrote: > It looks as if isa_pnp is linked into the kernel: > # > # Plug and Play configuration > # > CONFIG_PNP=y > CONFIG_ISAPNP=y > CONFIG_PNPBIOS=y > > -- Bjarne > > Eric Paynter wrote: > > OK. lsmod returns nothing that seems related to sound.
