As has been mentioned previously, there isn't an OSS driver for it, so ALSA is the only way to go. I tried a couple of different kernels with the same problem. I did not try compiling my own kernel... It annoyed me at the time because I wanted to use Quicktime through Crossover to watch the new Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Trailer.
With the sb128pci it works fine. Luckily it was a soundcard I had laying around so it didn't cost me anything... I do think it used to work, though, but I'm not sure when it stopped.... sometime between B2 and RC2. Scott
