The BIOS allows me to "hard set IRQs" and IO ports for only a few devices, the serial and parallel ports as far as I remember, not for the sound card anyway. But, hard set or not, the IRQ and other hardware settings for the sound card drivers *are* the same in Windows and Linux. I carefully checked that, and reported the values in my original message. So .... I don't think you just provided the key to a solution. Thanks for your follow-up though! Ben -- B.F.M.
