Maybe need to enable experimental drivers? Ahh, just looking and was thinking of "Crystal Soundfusion (CS4280/CS461x)". It came up in my head because there's some connection with the CS4611 PCI audio accelerator (which I have, but doesn't work with that driver). > Whee!

Tried that. Still didn't work. Same document No you don't want generic WSS (only 8-bit I think). > says if this doesnt work, need to use Linux PnP. So, I look in > xconfig.

So, I dug a bit thru the manpages for those PNP shouldn't be required (though I've done it with both with no difference -- 'cept some isapnp settings will make the sound worse like in WSS mode). > Whoohoo!

Maybe consider forking over a couple bucks for a couple SB LIVE soundcards? I understand they're dirt cheap and work well for what they do. I don't understand why your machine would get stuck. Do you have your BIOS set to "PNP OS"? If so, turn it off. Think I've told you 'bout all I could think of. -- Eric G. Miller <egm2@jps.net>
