Thanx, it worked. Now I have a newbie question: When I restarted the computer,
I had to redo this modprobe thing. How do I make it permanent. Also, I need a
config file for alsamixer as it has way too much settings to try them all out
(did that once, don't want to try again). The settings arte preferably for a
5.1 speaker sytem.
Thanx for the help.
