I have just purchased an Audigy 2 soundcard (this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?product_uid=82109). I have an Asus A7V333 motherboard which has onboard sound, but there is no way to disable the onboard sound in the BIOS (all the information I could find indicated that the onboard sound would be turned off automatically if there was a soundcard plugged in, but this doesn't seem to be the case). Gnome doesn't detect the soundcard at all, it doesn't appear in any of the system tools and, even after I manually added entries to modprobe.conf I am still stuck with only my onboard soundcard. The snd_emu10k1 module is getting loaded, it appears when I lsmod, but no sound card device is created. It does seem that the kernel knows the card is there, it just doesn't seem to know what it is: #/sbin/lspci | grep Creative 00:0e.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs: Unknown device 0008 #/usr/sbin/kudzu -p --class=AUDIO class: AUDIO bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "Creative Labs: Unknown device 0008" vendorId: 1102 deviceId: 0008 subVendorId: 1102 subDeviceId: 1001 pciType: 1 pcidom: 0 pcibus: 0 pcidev: e pcifn: 0 - class: AUDIO bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: snd-cmipci desc: "C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738" vendorId: 13f6 deviceId: 0111 subVendorId: 1043 subDeviceId: 80e2 pciType: 1 pcidom: 0 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 5 pcifn: 0 So I'm thinking there will be a config file somewhere where I can explain that the snd_emu10k1 is the driver for deviceid 0008? Does anyone know where that is - or am I barking up the wrong tree. (BTW - currently running 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 because I couldn't get fglrx to work with the 2.6.11 kernel). Rob
