S2468 is the right board. (ponder mode on) I know it's really a server board and maybe it does not support sound (well/at all?) but I though I would try playing with sound for the first time here since having Xfree86 and GNOME on this machine for maintenance, IMO, makes things easier. (I've read multiple comments about the hazards of running X and logging on as root. I'm keeping that in mind.) (ponder mode off) I got a bulk (OEM) packaged card from an edistributor. I'll have to pull the card out of the machine to get the model number off the card. It appeared to be a real Creative Labs card when I put it in. I put it in the slot furthest from the AGP slot. I'm not sure which way they are numbered but I'm guessing this is slot 6 (counting the AGP slot.) I looked at the manual, again and there is an option described as "This option allows you to prevent the OS from changing system settings". That didn't help. I even upgraded the BIOS. The symptoms did not change. As I'm typing this, I'm looking at the manual again and I still don't see anything about turning PNP off. (I'm thinking this may not be an option at all.) However, I just noticed something on page 25 under PCI Configuration labeled Latency Timer. "Defines the PCI response time delay. Certain devices SUCH AS SOUND CARDS (my emphasis) which require the most PCI access time, may benefot from a higher latency time." I'm not sure what to put in here but I'm not going to mess with it tonight. However, this may be the object of my next attempt. Cheers...
