RE: [PLUG] linux sound options


Looks like you might have too many sound modules
loading :0

What does your /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules
file look like? You might be able to clean up that
mess from there.

I like Paul Agin's recommendation of clearing out all
references to sound modules (card, midi, mixer, etc.).
And then run sndconfig to start over. Watch out for
IRQ conflicts while you're doing that and it should
work.  

Good luck,
Jerry
