This means ALSA was installed incorrectly, for example if the modules were compiled against the wrong kernel. The most common cause is compiling new ALSA modules and trying to install them while some of the old modules were loaded. If you compile new ALSA modules you must rmmod all the old ones before modprobe'ing the new ones Lee ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
