This says, that you have a sb16 module loaded. How did you compile alsa? I modified /etc/alsa/alsa-source.conf and ensured that my card was set, `grep -i card /etc/alsa/alsa-source.conf`: ALSA_CARDS=ens1370 Then `make-kpkg modules_image` at which point you should see that it picks up the right card. > >I also had to add these two lines to /etc/devfs/perms to fix > >permission problems with devfs: > > > >REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660 > >REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660 > > I do not have the directory /devfs/perms under /etc...do I just create that > manually and add those entries? Which means that you are probably not using devfs, so just ignore this then. /Allan -- Allan M. Wind email: allanwind@mediaone.net P.O.
