hiya,

thanks, yes, thats what i'm beginning to think will be my solution.

i have 2 ISA soundcards in my system, an old AWE64 (currently running fine under linux) and the TB Pinnacle.

its not possible to set a rev E pinnacle card into non PNP... this is a design fault, the PnP jumper is right under the daughterboard and impossible to get out without knowledge of soundcard surgery which i'm just not gonna attempt! ;o))).... this was changed in the rev F cards...

i might well be able to solve things in the BIOS as you suggest, but otherwise i'll just try switching the two cards around and see what happens. they're movable, thats not gonna be a problem...

it kinda frustrates me though, that i always come up with this problem every time i reinstall...

thanx heaps
