I just spent several hours playing with BIOS settings (I left IRQ3 set to 
ISA) and ctcm and awe64, and now I can no longer play .wav files in DOS 
(low level driver error with 'play', msp squawks) but linux is working 
perfectly with sound) and suddenly aumix is working here.  Before this I 
could play wav files in DOS but linux had some IRQ/DRQ error.

So you were right, it was some conflict, and I would not have thought to 
check it again.

DOS plays midi but not wav if I set sound to IRQ 5.  It wants IRQ9, but 
then linux won't work.  I don't want to deal with isapnp and I don't need 
to play wav files in DOS.

I had looked at this but it is 700K and I don't need another mp3 player 
and my free 'ISP' has been downloading at speeds of 0-100K this week (and 
just connected me at 16,800, despite last times being 19200, 49333, and 
28,800).  I wonder if the storms that got my two 56K modems also got some 
of their computers or phone lines.  (One of my modems now works at 14.4, 
but at higher speeds won't do ATI commands, and someone said it might be 
something to do with the power circuit, so maybe a shorted diode?).

Aumix will help a lot with these nice loud unpowered speakers.
