Well then...
power down, switch off and power up again. probably, you won't enjoy your sound then.
starting wiondows sets the "unplug and throw away" hardware to that what you see in the control panel. Setting that up in linux wont work since the card might not get initialized. A warm reboot from Windows keeps these settings, a cold start natureally will unset them.
One should not flame Windows for making PnP devices work when Linux scrambles things... An who knows, maybe he had never turned the system on/off but only had "rebooted." I have noticed even some vendors, specifically RedHat, mention using Windows to determine resource usage and I had to use Windows to make sure everything was working and documented before I proceeded into the slightly broken but wondeful SuSE world of 7.2 Professional...

Flaming times here? Linux works where the there are good drivers around. There is not a pnp problem... Except from some vendors who do notdo the pnp part in the standard way.

Completely unuseful. They only help windows users to migrate in that way. I had to use Windows to make

Maybe because you are not such an expert? I do not need windows to see if a card is broken or not. And I am not an expert. Tazio

Shouldn't that be "when" there are good drivers around....

Obviously the writer did have a PnP problem with Linux and the point is that Windows would "fix" the problem so that Linux driver would work.

Hmm, I think you made the point that it is useful in that it does help "windows users migrate in that way" and some Linux distro's actually recommend it.

Never said I am "expert" ... is there such a thing a in the Linux world?

That wasn't the point; in the writers case on this and in mine, the "card" was not broken and one only has to be a member of this list to recognize the multiplicity of configuration issues that can occur with Linux, PnP and ISA. Clint
