my awe is plug&pRay, has normal 512k ram and has no special jumpers. The rest of the sound it should generate it does. I have a triton mother##$@%$board with a 166MHz & 32mb ram. I have tried it under slackware & redhat with 0-diff resultts. please help: my emails are tmeyer@new.co.za & cloud.new.co.za!adolf. I have tried several different kernels from 2.1.13 up which do the same thing and I have had no success. bye!
