Under 3.x you specify pcm0 in the kernel config file, but that is reserved or ISA cards. If it finds a PCI card then it is pcm1 (don't try changing the config file to ``device pcm1 ....'' or you card will be pcm2 and you'll have to MAKEDEV snd2). > And that was yesterday.

Well mine is a SB PCI128, but it's the same card re-badged by Creative after they bought Ensoniq, and it sounds just fine. Get it working again properly, as detailed above, and we'll take it from there. HTH > Does anyone know what exactly > happened here? I mean, why my prompt all of sudden stop working?
