It would be good to know whether this upgrade included the kernel. Check /var/log/dpkg.log* (or /var/log/aptitude* if you use aptitude). > More precisely, if I launch XFCE for example, the sound doesn't > work.

Which command or media player did you use to check the sound? I would start with something elementary like "speaker-test -t sine" and watch for error messages. > I first thought of a problem wiuth xfce-mcs-manager, but the same > problem happens under gnome or fluxbox... Which sound devices do you have? Run find /dev/ -group audio | grep -v '/.static/' Check if this output remains unchanged after you start X. Maybe some background process is blocking access to the sound devices. You can test this with lsof $(find /dev/ -group audio) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
