Hi! Is the soundcore.o module also loaded? That's a module directly from the linux kernel (if you compile the kernel yourself: You have to switch general sound card support to "M" (modularized), but leave all other options off on the sound card support configuration page; if you don't compile it y

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I already had the aliases in my modules.conf (except I use sbawe). I tried setting the sound system to OSS, but still no signs of life. I'm reluctant to remove the aliases, since the alsa documenation calls for them. Argh! lsmode shows lots of the rig
