weird. i don't know why someone would want to try that :) i can't imagine it working. anyways, if you really have no idea what kind of soundcard you have then i suggest downloading OSS, it has very good detection routines and (at least in the registered version maybe in the demo too) you can get it to show you the settings like i/o port irq etc. provided it can detect it. optimally i would reccomend switching soundcards to something easier to work with(SB PCI 128 is my favorite, runs about $28-30 for the OEM version). you can always install OSS, then remove it afterwards.. i used it on one of my laptops. oss caused some lockups so i copied the settings down and wrestled with alsa for a couple hours till i got it working again. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
