Is it? What do I do about it? It's only bad if you need that module. For a CM8738, I wouldn't think you do. So I think you're OK. Getting soundcards to work under ALSA is *usually* a three-step process: 1. does the kernel see the soundcard OK (what does lspci -vv say about the soundcard)? 2. do you have the right modules installed (what does lsmod say)? 3. have you unmuted everything you need to in alsamixer (are Master, PCM, and CD unmuted), and are the relevant sliders (Master, PCM, CD and Wave) turned up to reasonable values? You haven't given us enough information yet. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
