That should answer your question about loading the wrong module. I'm also using alsa on a 2.6.22 kernel with no problems and the alsa module came with the kernel. I didn't need to compile it. If memory serves me, this has been true for some time possibly starting with the change from the 2.4 to the 2.6 kernel. Cheers, Jonathan -- Registerd Linux user #445917 at http://counter.li.org/
