i finally got my snd card working.....but now whenever i run an app that uses sound, whether its a game, or even xmms, the computer will lock up. not just kill the app, or X, the entire computer will lock up :( anyone have any ideas? if it matters, i'm running rh7.3 w/ kernel 2.4.19, and an aureal vortex2 using the au8830.o driver perhaps its an IRQ conflict....? thanks dylan
