Glad to hear.

Yes ...
0 for IBM ViaVoice TTS with the Speakup console screen reader
1 unused--comes via the MSI video card
2 For Espeak via Speech-Dispatcher for Orca GUI screen reader
3 For Vo/IP telephony
4 For serious music work (hopefully)
5 For whatever -- nice sounding card
6 Got to have my console beeps!

0 and 2 can't share <groan>
3 needs to be independent--it's a phone

So, I may actually be short a card were I to get Windows running in a
KVM!

Simply returns--no error. lsmod shows it's gone.

Returns with no error. 'lsmod |grep hdsp' shows it's there.

It's at this point that i run 'hdsploader' yes? This is where the error
creeps in.

I have alsa-firmware-1.0.25-1.fc17

This is an Asrock lga1155 board with Z77. I have an Ivy Bridge I5-3450
CPU and AMI UEFI. I'm not impressed with UEFI so far, btw, as I can't
seem to get it to leave my boot order alone.
