I don't remember > hearing the noise if sfxload is called after the boot. Hmm... I don't think so. I do not load the sound driver at boot time and it makes this noise too. My sound driver is compiled as a kernel module that is loaded just when needed (I set the things up using those pre-install/post-install directives in /etc/modules-conf). Probably this noise is heard just at the first time the driver is loaded after turning on the system. No, I didn't any test at all, it is just a speculation. :-) > Hey, could anyone explain (or point me to an explanation) what is the main > diference between ALSA and OSS sound drivers? I'm not sure, therefore I won't try to explain it, but I think that the ALSA project will prevail... Anyway, I use the OSS (but I bet that the AWE64 works with ALSA driver too). > Thanks, > Paulo See you. -- Félix Almeida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
