Hi, thanks for your input. It's an isa PnP card, no jumpers. I set my bios to reserve IRQs 5 and 7 and the card seems to like 5. This fixed the conflicts. I'm still not loading all the drivers properly. See my reply to Tim Goetze in this thread. This is all so confusing...last time I was using this card was a couple years ago using the commercial OSS driver with a special $10 add on for the AWE part of the card and it just worked. The sequencer I want to use (muse) strongly recommended alsa. I'll keep reading and trying things. I'd be glad to hear any suggestions. Thanks, John
