Hi Joe,
Thanks for the reply. I now have audio from the vortex card, and I added the
following for the onboard, but /dev/dsp1 is not available, only /dev/dsp0. It
is there, but nothing is driving it.
Also when I use the gnome volume control, I see two tabs for audio options.
One for the cmedia sound(onboard) and one for the SigmaTelSTAC9704(Vortex2
card).
Here is my modules.conf

Any idea why the cmpci audio doesnt work?
