I'm currently running Knoppix 4.0 hdd installed (kernel 2.6) here's lspci -vv outputs on the cards: 0000:01:00.1 Multimedia audio controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2200 [MagicMedia 256AV Audio] (rev 20) Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation MagicMedia 256AV Audio Device on Durango Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- SERR- I wouldn't have addressed you unless I've already tried everything: I've tried the solution of the same problem regarding HP Omni 4150 with the same card. I used alsaconf and it tried to load snd-nm256, after loading it crashed, dmesg suggested loading it with force_ac97=1 switch but once i did it the system crashed (on 3 differet linux installations) I did a legacy scan using alsaconf for all legacy drivers. I 'modprobe'ed for hours on every imaginable option (ad1848, sb, cs423x, etc..) I've edited the modules.conf and manually defined the dma and irq I removed alsa completly and re-install it. I had debian with 2.4 kernel installed and i've upgraded to 2.6 I changed the distro from debian to Knoppix (kinda same thing but...) anyway, you get the point.. can you please assist??I'm having problems configuring my sound card with alsa, here are the details: the sound card is NeoMagic 256AV (NM2200) located onboard a Compaq Presario 1920.

If it works with the OSS sb16 model it should work with the ALSA snd-sb16 driver. Maybe you can try again with ALSA CVS and the snd-nm256 driver - the bug causing it to lock up the system was recently fixed.
