I just got one (Athlon 750...mmm...), and it seems to work fine under ALSA. I'm using the ALSA VIA 686a driver for it; everything got autodetected fine. The one thing that doesn't work (that annoys me a little): has anyone gotten the external MIDI interface to work on this hardware? I'm assuming that, like every other sound card since the Sound Blaster, the on-board joystick port uses two pins for a TTL MIDI interface. I have a box to connect two joysticks, a MIDI IN, and a MIDI OUT to the port, but it doesn't seem to be working on the new machine. (I should test that I didn't break the box recently, but that doesn't seem likely.) Any hints? -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
