Ugh...Sound issues (way OT)

[Cheryl Homiak]

Hi Buddy.
One thing you might try is downloading the free download from 
www.opensound.com and trying that to see if it makes your sblive or 
you motherboard sound chip (or you could try both) work. If 
you were going to use it permanently, of course, you'd have to pay for it, 
but if you just tried it and it worked, you could check the irqs and any 
other settings you can think of and maybe diagnose the problem. Only you 
have to disable sound in your kernel and get rid of your alsa modules to 
do it. I know when I had FC2 up the oss version they were offering for 
fedora core offered to do all that for you, but I don't think the regular 
linux version does that. Of course, another option is also to try the 
kernel oss and see what that does; I realize you probably want to use alsa 
but these are just purely diagnostic suggestions.
Hth.
