You'll need to unmute everything through alsamixer (and likely have to turn up some volumes) to get sound to come out. The errors on your box are a little different though. See if that works. I've never had linux throw up an IRQ error before, and I'm using the 2.6 kernel. Alsa pretty much just worked for me. I have your exact board by the way running on my FC1 install. Only thing different is the kernel. I didn't use alsa with the 2.4 kernel; mainly because sound functioned without it. So ehh, sorry I can't be much more help. Alex ---> Thanks for the info. I can't actuallt get the mixer to even run; I get the following error: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory I think it's a problem loading the drivers themselves and binding them to the sound module. I may just end up building a 2.6 kernel in desparation. If you're using the same board with the 2.6 kernel and it works... Thanks, -Don
