Are you using stable (Lenny)? If so, you have alsa 1.0.17, 1.0.19 is current This should work to update the drivers get http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/alsa-driver/alsa-source_1.0.19.dfsg-2_all.deb then do all the following as root or with sudo: dpkp -i alsa-source_1.0.19.dfsg-2_all.deb aptitude install module-assistant m-a update m-a prepare m-a a-i alsa Aside from trying new alsa drivers, you could try to get the Creative drivers working: http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html Or you could try to build and use OSSv4 for linux (a major undertaking, I haven't tried it yet): http://www.opensound.com/wiki/index.php/Building_OSSv4_from_source Cheers, Kelly Clowers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
