linux and soundcards

[Kerry Hoath]

It is indeed true. Getting full duplex speak freely working
can be problematic.
I have managed to get plug 'n' play cards to work under alsa;
but regardless they need to be activated first.
Kernel drivers are simler so try them first and if they work migrate to alsa.
Many use isapnp to activate the card then load the module.
Kernel 2.4.x also has plug 'n' play support although I have never tried it.
alsa has its own pnp activate code; but you must tell it
what resources it can't use; see the docs.

Regards, Kerry.
