Hi guys, A newbie here. Does anyone else have trouble getting an AWE 64 card to work with Mandrake 7.2? I can get it to work if I run sndconfig at a command prompt after I boot but it quits working as soon as I reboot. If I configure it via DrakeConf it takes about 5 minutes to find it and once again it only works until I reboot. I had to install Mandrake/QNX with the BIOS set to PNP OS yes to get it to work at all otherwise nothing at all. After install I set the BIOS PNP back to "no" or it doesn't work either I suppose I could try setting all of the IRQs manually via the BIOS but then I would risk the card not working in Winders2K, BeOS and QNX RTP (QNX has been a problem also). I am new to Linux and don't even know where to start here. I checked the /etc/modules.conf and the settings seem to be the same if it is working or not so I am guessing there is somewhere else I need to be looking to solve this. If someone could point me to the files I need to modify, to get this to work without having to run sndconfig each time I reboot it would be worth a few beers, or maybe a burger at the Water Tower for those of you who don't drink. (Beers and burgers at the Water Tower both rock by the way.)
