jh> You should *not* load the emu10k1 module (that's OSS, not ALSA) jh> - instead, you need the snd_emu10k1 module (notice ALSA modules jh> have the snd_ prefix) Thanks to Chris, Joris and others, I have succeeded in getting ALSA working on my 'sarge' system! The main problem was using the OSS modules instead of the ASLA ones. Thanks again ... -Kenneth
