Re: the video, some video card drivers actually hog the PCI bus, they do some sort of illegal use of it that does not release it appropriately for other cards to use. The result is better video card "performance" at the expense of all other pci cards. What software exactly is giving you trouble? Is it using the alsa native api or oss emulation? -- Fernando _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
