I agree, isapnp is the best way to do it as a general rule. I just wanted to confirm that there are bioses which do full initializations. The reason that mine worked out just fine is that none of the resources which are the first pick for the sound card are used on my system, so the values I was

In looking at the thread, I didn't see anyone mentioning that sound should be compiled as a module, so isapnp can configure the card before the sound driver tries to talk to the card. (I have been known to miss seeing things before ) Pat -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTE

Hi, I have the same card, and I just set it up again 2-3 days ago. If you're using Debian 2.0 hamm you won't need to download isapnptools as it is part of the base system and already installed (it may even be for 1.3 for all I know). All the documentation I needed I found by reading the manpages
