</div>Nick - I'd guess FC5 either isn't loading any drivers for the card or<br>
is loading the incorrect drivers. Usually what I do in this case is<br>
boot up a knoppix CD. That will load up the correct drivers in 99% of<br>
the cases in my experience. Then when you verify that sound is working<br>
in knoppix, you can check what drivers it loaded (run lsmod from the<br>
CLI) and make sure FC5 is loading the same ones.<br>
