Hi Christian,

Here is what we can say after my tests:

It is not possible to unload the snd-hda-intel module from the kernel because it is builtin and therefore remains active at all times. This means that the graphics card module has priority, no matter what. The Sound Blaster card module will never be taken into account.

This is not really a problem as the screen has speakers. In my case, I don't have one. I solved my problem by adding an HDMI converter that I plug my speakers into. It works very well, even if you have to change the connections each time if you switch from Linux to AmigaOS

Many thanks for the hint. I compiled it as kernel module for the RC6 of kernel 5.14 yesterday. Please test it.

Dear Christian,

It is with great pleasure that I can announce the good functioning of the Sound Blaster audio card on Fienix, thanks to the evolutions of the 5.14 kernel.

The sound is clear and loud. The apparent network fault was just a graphical reset issue after changing the card. It was enough to reconfigure this display. Everything is working perfectly fine.

Thank you very much for your support. I am very happy with this card which works just as well on AmigaOne X5000 as it does on Fienix

Great! I am happy that your Sound Blaster works!
