[linux-audio-user] audiophile 2496 with Fedora Core 3

Thanks for the info-- another question:  Is the idea here that kudzu will
fail to detect the Audiophile 2496 if onboard sound is enabled?  Shouldn't
it be able to detect both sound systems?

This same Audiophile 2496 card is accessible to Windows XP and works fine
there.  (This is a dual-boot system.)

More information: I installed the OSS driver for the Audiophile 2496 but
it said "failed to find the hardware."  I don't know in what sense it
tries, whether it actually probes the PCI bus or just reads
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf.  Of course the A2496 was not in
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf because kudzu didn't find it.

Okay, I will check the mobo jumpers.

Thanks everyone,
-Mike
