That's a pretty old version, you might want to consider upgrading to 3.0 (released in July 2002) > I've installed > xmcd and it works just fine but I get no sound.

The first thing to note is that CD audio is not typically done through the sound system, there is typically a cable inside the PC that connects from the CD player to the sound card. IIRC The only thing that the sound card does WRT CD audio is manage the volume. alsa-base only contains some libraries used to communicate with, and scripts to configure the alsa drivers. If you want to use alsa, you will need to get the alsa modules installed (probably by compiling them yourself, along with a new kernel). The easiest thing to do is probably going to be to use the default oss drivers. I'm not sure which oss driver is the right one to use. If you'll post the output of lspci, someone can probably tell you (or you can search for yourself ;). -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
