My saa7134 / Flyvideo 3000 Card / Software has mysteriously decided to work! I have tried to reproduce the "sound turning off" problem but can't. It now starts with sound. Channel changes maintain sound too. Also, with the sound plugged from the Flyvideo card to the sound card it works fine (rather than direct external sound to speakers as I had it) and it works fine. XMMS and xine work fine too. It is all harmonizing. It is currently working fine with USB + ess1371 + saa7134 all on IRQ 9. I have tried turning USB off and on (repeatedly) in the BIOS - no change. I have tried reversing the order of saa7134 and es1371 (after clean boot) - no change. I will continue to try to reproduce the problem so we can understant it better and provide the solution.
