So you would want to check if any devices share an IRQ number with another device. If it does, then try setting your sound card's IRQ to one that isn't in use. I don't know how you can check this, as I haven't had much experience with Linux aside from remote server administration. --Matt "Buddy Dee" Derosier _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
