Again and again, I hear glowing reports using an SB Live. It sounds as if the Live is a very popular card, and thus the driver is well tested. I had Alsa set up both in rc.modules and modules.conf. Both ways produce similar results. Here is what my rc.modules for Alsa contained. #Load Alsa drivers. /sbin/modprobe snd-sbawe /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-midi /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss Here is my /etc/modules.conf I used which let Alsa load and unload on the fly. It differs a bit from the example in that I used a feature called post-install to run commands after loading the modules since the settings always go back to muted when the modules unload and reload. The sfxload command is a utility to enable Midi support with the AWE cards, although I seldom need it, it is good to have around. alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-sbawe post-install snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss post-install sound-service-0-1 /usr/local/bin/sfxload synthgs alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
