The sound system can be selected by running: dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base When ALSA is selected, all OSS modules are blacklisted for udev. When OSS is selected, all ALSA modules are blacklisted for udev. > Perhaps > there is some other way of solving the problem. Well, etch, lenny and sid are running all 2.6 kernels >= 2.6.18. So in that case udev is the first choice of managing drivers (kernel modules) . I don't know what kernel version you're running, but sarge or even potato or slink are no more maintained by the alsa-maintainers :-) And please notice that 1.0.14 sound drivers are integrated in 2.6.22/23 Kernel. So why don't you want to run udev? Elimar -- Obviously the human brain works like a computer. Since there are no stupid computers humans can't be stupid.
