Re: [gentoo-laptop] IRQ conflict

[Raj Swaminathan]

Im running KDE 3.4.  Sound is turned on. I can listen to bells and whistles
but not audio.

In Control Center > Sound System
I get the following error message :

Unable to start the sound server to retrive possible Sound I/O Methods.
Only automatic detection will be available.

On cat /proc/interrupts,  my  nForce Audio seems to be on the same IRQ as
USB1. Could that be the problem.

thanks,
raj
