Well, I took the plunge - and I now have music from the SB0400.
Excellent! Damn those confounded PCI IDs. I read the article you pointed to in you last post, and it seems that all it needed was an entry in em10k1's list of recognised card IDs. I've been bitten by this problem myself: when I tried to read the memory stick in my Clie PDA (which was listed under supported devices), I found that the European version had a different ID. After a quick hack and recompile, all was well. It may be possible, e.g. using a kernel parameter, to force an association between an ID and a device, but if it is, I couldn't find the info.
Now, if just the !@#$% fan noise from the computer wasn't so loud then I could also enjoy the music.
Hear, hear! (If only we could) If it helps, my system just got considerably quieter after changing the case (it's still too loud though). My old case had cooling problems which I put down to poor airflow, with not much scope for improving it. This meant that the fans were always on full blast. The case I replaced it with (Jeantech Apollo - recommended) has fans everywhere. I did a count of the total number of fans (i.e. including mobo, PSU & GFX card) in the box and it came to nine! I was prepared for an unholy cacophony when I switched on, but was pleasantly surprised. As the system is cooling more efficiently, the fans are much less stressed, and the overall effect is to reduce the noise. Glad you've got the card sorted, Phil
