Thanks for the tip Chris. No, I haven't checked into this, but will now. I have Boston speakers as well.
Chris when you "modprobe emu10k1" what loads?
This is what I get:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
emu10k1 50624 0 (unused)
ac97_codec 9568 0 [emu10k1]
soundcore 3492 4 [emu10k1]
Bill Jonas is running the same card (thanks for your ongoing help Bill!) and sees this output:
emu10k1 55776 0
sound 52268 0 [emu10k1]
ac97_codec 9184 0 [emu10k1]
soundcore 3460 7 [emu10k1 sound]
Of these, only emu10k1 is in my /etc/modules; the others get loaded when
the init scripts 'modprobe emu10k1'.

Do you see the same Chris?
Correct me if I'm wrong? According to the xconfig help, "sound" module is the sound.o driver which is the OSS support. Do I even need this? Anyway..
I have to load that manually by /sbin/insmod sound.o
When I do that I now see:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
sound 53260 0 (unused)
emu10k1 50624 0 (unused)
ac97_codec 9568 0 [emu10k1]
soundcore 3492 6 [sound emu10k1]
To the far right of the "sound" module I should see [emu10k1] correct, where it currently says unused?
When I run an audio test and "lsmod" again, the (unused) statement is gone for emu10k1, but remains for sound.
Does anybody know how I can "link" sound to the emu10k1 or vice versa?
Is it crucial to have "emu10k1" added to /etc/modules or is that only necessary to make it load automatically at boot?
As always, Thanks for the feedback...
