In the alsa howto there is a brief description of the hardware supported by alsa http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Alsa-sound-3.html#ss3.3 I am not a great alsa master, so I can only give you a proof of existence. I use kernel 2.4.22 and I have have a k7s5a card. I can choose between a module called ac97_codec and alsa (which again uses a module called snd-ac97-codec). However I cannot load both ac97 modules at the same time. Here is some lsmod output with alsa snd-dummy 3520 0 snd-usb-audio 37792 0 (unused) snd-intel8x0 16068 3 snd-pcm 51012 1 [snd-dummy snd-usb-audio snd-intel8x0] snd-timer 12196 0 [snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 34360 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-page-alloc 5460 0 [snd-dummy snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm] snd-mpu401-uart 2656 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-rawmidi 11680 0 [snd-usb-audio snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3616 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd 24996 2 [snd-dummy snd-usb-audio snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] There is a very specific description of the k7s5a card in the k7s5a howto, but you can probably find more general descriptions elsewhere. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/K7s5a-HOWTO.html Niels PS: Is k7s5a short for kissa? -- Niels L Ellegaard http://dirac.ruc.dk/~gnalle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
