Nope, it's not even visible :-? In the meantime, instead rebooting to get the sound working again, you could try by enforcing a reload of the kernel sound module: # list your sound module lsmod | grep snd # remove / add the kernel module modprobe -r snd_nvidia_xxxx && modprobe snd_nvidia_xxxx Or by restarting alsa-utils service: "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
