Then press "kill <number>", where <number> is the PID number of esd (the number to the left of esd, at the beginning of the line). Sound sould be okay then. > After using E (with sound), should i restart my system every time to > play with programs that use /dev/audio ?? (How can i fix this?) Nah. This is Linux!

Wait for ALSA to be ready (a new sound driver). Thank you, Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
