23 Double check the kernel config. Also, when you check the kernel
24 config, make sure that you have it as a module, instead of being built
25 into the kernel itself. This card has done some funky stuff for me.
26 It works, but not the way I would expect it to. The standard test:
27 "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp" works fine as the normal user, but I
28 don't get any of the "blips and whirrs" in my normal user account,
29 that I do with root. Hopefully, YMWV. ;-) I think I also had to
30 emerge alsa-utils. You may want to check that out.
