    ok been having problems while installing mandrake10, I sorted freezing out buy using "linux noapic nolapic" but now during setting up the boot loader
    I get a "insmod'ing module loop failed" error? I can just about spot this error when the cd1 is loading up something to do with insmod'ing.

    I was using a IDE/SATA converter thats what was causing the problem, its working now, but need to get interenet working.

    Using Live CD such as Slax I can use the net with out setting anything, on the other hand on MD10 I cant.

    using a Netgear Router/ADSL/Switch...

    are you using a router or is it a direct line to your comp, might just take time to recognize the change

    Try using the network tools in the router itself to ping the server. If you get similar latency, it could just be network conjestion.

    Try running alsamixer (from shell), that's a *very* powerful mixer. You have a lot more control over your sound card with alsa than you ever did in windows. It can actually be a bit overwelming, as you have dozens of controls to play with...

    Not a problem, Snipe. :) I hope for your sake you don't have a Creative Labs card based on the EMU10k1, as alsamixer can be a bit tricky (Creative has a weird and confusing sound buss). I had to download a diagram of the Creative sound buss to really understand what was going on with my 5.1 surround. Otherwise the bass was being routed through the satellites rather than the sub! :eek:

    Would that be the case of the Audigy 2 ZS ?

    It would be the same, as it is also based on the EMU10k1 chipset. It's actually got a few more confusing (mislabled) busses than a regular Live. Even so, once you tinker with it for a while, you can figure out the relationships between different (seemingly unrelated) sound paths, and get it sounding better in *nux than in Windows.

    P.S. - The 'EMU10K1 PCM' channels actually control the primary amplitude (main volume), not the 'Master' channel. Don't ask me why Creative set it up this way. :rolleyes: Also, the first EMU10K1 PCM slider controlls the Left channel volume, and the second one controls the Right.

    Indeed. :p Well, if you need any help I've done the ALSA/Audigy thing quite a few times now. I'd be glad to help you avoid the same frustrations I've had to overcome in the past.
