Hey Phil, There's no way to be out of line when trying to help :-) Thanks for the thought but alsa doesn't even see the card at this point, for instance alsamixer gives me: root at sphinx ~]# alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device and alsactl (pointed at the file I created with alsactl store running under Fedora 7 Live CD) gives me: [root at sphinx ~]# alsactl restore alsactl: load_state:1236: No soundcards found... Thanks for the attempt!
