i.m new to linux and don't know crap about it yet.any way when i boot up everything starts up fine then i get Sound server error cpu overload abort message.I have looked all over the web for info on how to fix this.

running ArkLinux alpha 10
AC97 onboard sound card

this is what i found in system info under sound

Soundcard Driver 3.8.1a-980706(ALSv1.0.0rc1 emulation code)

Installed drivers
Type 10:ALSA emulation

Card config
VIA 8235 at at 0xe000,irq 22

0: VIA 8235 (DUPLEX)

Synth devices:NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Midi devices:NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Please keep in mind that I am new to Linux and don't realy know anything about it yet

What kernel version do you have (type uname -a to check)? The 2.6.3 kernel has problems with Alsa which often causes this error.

so I think that I'll give that I try. Thanx for the reply.
