Hi,
I'm always making life difficult for myself when it comes to Linux & hardware :) Here's where I'm at now. Any help appreciated.
I used to run FC4 on my machine, which has an Nvidia NFORCE 4 motherboard with built in audio. This was all fine, no problems. Then, I did two things that made my life difficult. First, I upgraded to FC5. I also installed a pro-audio souncard (M-Audio Delta 1010LT) for use in electronic music on Windows. This seems to have upset my lovelly Linux setup.
Now, my Nvidia onboard soundcard is generally not detected (although it was once! Wierd.) and Linux seems determined in trying to use the M-Audio card for sound. It doesn't do a great job to be honest and I'd like it to ignore the M-Audio card and just use the Nvidia.
How can I tell the kernel not to use the M-Audio card? Just turn it off, ignore it. It's for Windows only.
Here's what I get with lspci -v (and here endeth my knowledge of Linux & drivers etc)
