i know but that was the usual fault from the user side. i don't know what it could be. but i attached my alsa conf. (don't forget to disable the path line!) perhaps it could work. i have als cs461x and i have also some conflicts with alsa and pcmcia slot (especialy in coherence with suspend to ram). ps: does ReiserFS works fine (without any problems)? -- bye, alias m.nine.six.
