What types of files are you trying to play, and > how? Mostly MS sound files '.wav'. I play these through the NAS 'audemo' program which is a client of the 'au' server. I've used this historically with success. I have a sneaking suspicion about what's wrong. I think maybe I've got the wrong IRQ set in the kernel for this card. I re-built my kernel config file from scratch for 2.2.5 (it dated back to 2.0.5...) and I may have had a brain fart in the process. I'll have to open the box to look at the jumpers on the card. I'm suspicious about this because I wouldn't expect anything to work (remember, I can play '.au' files) if the interrupt was wrong, but I'll let you know.
