Check to see if you have a sound server installed (esd, arts, PA). They can get in the way (although I happen to like PA). Check your sound modules with lsmod. Check that you don't also have a sound chip on your motherboard. Cheers, Kelly Clowers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
