At boot I get the message that the device or resource is busy and I can verify that its not using any IRQs here #cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 274465 XT-PIC timer 1: 4834 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 2 XT-PIC rtc 11: 53081 XT-PIC eth0 12: 50712 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu 14: 626802 XT-PIC ide0 15: 156 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 Yet PCI device is found with #cat /proc/pci PCI devices found: Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq Unknown device (rev 2). Vendor id=1274. Device id=5880. Slow devsel. IRQ 9. Master Capable. Latency=96. Min Gnt=12.Max Lat=128. I/O at 0x1040 [0x1041]. isn't it odd that its listed as IRQ 9 in /proc/pci but not listed as having an interrupt and its listed in proc/modules but it isn't being used #cat /proc/modules Module Size Used by snd-pcm1-oss 13156 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm1 17372 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm1-oss] snd-pcm 8492 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm1-oss snd-pcm1] snd-timer 8092 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm1] snd 33568 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm1-oss snd-pcm1 snd-pcm snd-timer] parport_probe 3204 0 (autoclean) parport_pc 5808 1 (autoclean) lp 5828 0 (autoclean) (unused) parport 6984 1 (autoclean) [parport_probe parport_pc lp] serial 42932 0 (autoclean) memstat 1604 0 (unused) Yes I followed SOUND-HOWTO and followed instructions for es1371.o to be loaded as a module. I know about the es1371 issue and have followed instructions to fix it. I also tried building a new kernel w/module built right in. That didn't work either. Alsaconf seemed to work at first but it didn't fix the problem The sound card works in Windows and uses IRQ 9 Any Help, Jim Pharis __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
