It works fine for me, but there are things you have to watch out for.

If your sound card is in the PCI slot next to the AGP slot, move it if you can. The first PCI slot shares an interrupt line with the AGP slot, and should always be left empty if possible.

This also interacts with the BIOS setting which is worded something like Boot from VGA in PCI slot, which should be changed to AGP (the exact wording for this setting varies between the Award and AMI BIOSes).

While in the BIOS, make sure the setting PnP-aware OS is set to NO.

That's all from me -- good luck!

I can't make it works with knoppix 3.2 although i've tried knoppix alsa at boot time...

I've so another machine which has a Terratec sound card: i've find its module at ALSA
website (snd_ice1712) but this is the same pbm::>no sound although it was detected

Nb:"modprobe: can't locate module sound-slot-0 insmod
Note:/etc/modules.conf is more recent than /opt/kernel/modules.dep
Aumix: erreur lors de l'ouverture du mixeur

in french... knoppix lang=fr at boot time

Ps: I don't know if this topic is in the right place, may the "boss" move it in a better one...

Thanks a lot !

Just spent the last day getting this to work. To hear sound from the CD with alsa I had to modprobe the modules for my joystick and then the sound would work. When installed to the HD you must as root /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig to make the devices and update the modules and you will have sound then when you re-boot it will be gone so edit the file /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh as root and add the lineaumix -w 60 -v 60 to the bottom of the file to set the volume levels and it should work next time you boot. This in addition to the steps above definitely make sure you disable the settings in the BIOS for any on board sound it will work sometimes with them enabled but cause all kinds trouble later as I have figured out the hard way.
