Hi, 

Thanks for answering.  I have had the same experience. I have heard from a few 
people that the Alsa driver don't work with this sound card.  Some have had 
success with the older oss drivers.  I have heard that the best solution is 
the proprietary drivers from opensound.com, but I tried to install them with 
8.0 and got the message that the drivers were not compatible with that 
kernel.

Anyway, I will let you know if I find a solution.  It seems there are a good 
number of people out there going around in circles over this problem.
