Hi,

first, thanks for your time!

now, i ran the mixer and the values were not set to 0.... well, here's
how it
looked like:

Mixer vol      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer bass     is currently set to   0:0
Mixer treble   is currently set to   0:0
Mixer pcm      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer speaker  is currently set to 100:100
Mixer line     is currently set to 100:100
Mixer mic      is currently set to  73:73
Mixer cd       is currently set to 100:100
Mixer rec      is currently set to  10:10
Mixer ogain    is currently set to 100:100
Mixer line1    is currently set to 100:100
Mixer phin     is currently set to 100:100
Mixer video    is currently set to 100:100

but i might have found something interesting, yesterday i rebooted and
you
know, where it shows your hardware with IRQs and such.. well, both
Multimedia
Device and ACPT Controller were set to IRQ 9... maybe thats why the card
aint
working...?

thanks!
dc
