Thank you for the helpful information. However, neither of the tricks
you suggested helped me. Is it possible to damage the AWACS chip on the
motherboard (maybe by an electrical surge?) and still have the machine
run? 

I guess I will have to install a new card. Do you know of any other PCI
sound cards that work under linuxppc on a powermac?

Thanks,

Scott
