Hi, Please apply the following patch. It was designed against linux-2.6.5, but applies cleanly against alsa-driver-1.0.4 this way: cd alsa-driver-1.0.4/alsa-kernel/pci zcat /path/to/my/patches/aureal-2.6.5.diff.gz |patch -p3 It fixes some bugfixes, and adds more info to the Kconfig file. It also adds automatic chipset workarounds for some VIA and AMD chipsets that need latency tweaking. Thanks. Manuel Jander.
