I have problem with my soundcard: it simply doesn't work after compilation of the new kernel.
I've switched to Slackware 10.0, where ACPI is not included in the generic kernel, so I'd beed forced do make my own. After many attempts with different kernel versions I reached a small success: everything works but the soundcard. I've found in one FAQ, that everything connected with "sound" should be compiled as module, so I did that. Now Linux sees card but it's unable to use it. All my attempts yielded only in stress fracture
I have SoundBlaster PCI128 on es1731 chip and MSI K7T motherboard.
I'm not an autoritharian but I assume that soundcard is fighting with USB controler over the IRQ12 and USB wins...

.. and I don't know how to cope with it. I cannot switch off USB because I need it. Physically the card is good and seeable, what can be checked below:

I'm interested in such thing: why the generic kernel shipped with the distribution somehow solves that problem, but when I compile my own it doesn't want to cooperate?
I thank in advance for any help or suggestions.
