first be sure your audio driver is installed and is working. i suggest playing a mp3 as root in single user mode (init 1) to make it easiest to rule out anything else using the device. and/or run lsof | grep dsp get the lsof-2.2 package for this im assuming your using kernel 2.2 ..dont know if the package works on kernel 2.4 as i have never used 2.4. from what i see 2 things could be wrong either something is using the device, or something WAS using the device but hasn't let it go, or #2 would be the audio driver is not installed/not compadible/broken/etc. also could be a hardware conflict which would be related to the audio driver as it cannot load properly if there is a conflict. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
