hi,

i have upgraded the kernel to 2.4.18-24.7.x

scsi_mod              104800   3 [st aic7xxx sd_mod]

when i run sndconfig, it detects the soundcard and when it plays the 
sample sound, it gets stuck. nothing happens. 

i would appreciate if someone told me what could have gone wrong or how to 
go about setting this up. i tried to compile the alsa but i dont have the 
kernel source.

regards,
