Well, I was able to get around the problems I was having in beta{2,3} with sound on my VAIO laptops (ymfpci kernel module) by hacking modules.conf, but I am having *NO* luck in doing so in beta4! No matter what kernel I boot into, devfs or not, I can't get any sound. The only adjustment aumix has is for Mic. Not good. The kernel module's loaded (using the default method as well as the work-around I had for the earlier beta releases) and '/etc/init.d/{alsa,sound} status' both say that sound's loaded. In my case, with the stock 2.4.18-2mdk kernel, there _is_ /dev/{dsp,mixer}, but no /dev/sound or /dev/asound (if that matters). Quite frustrating. -Charlie -- GPG Key fingerprint = 4F36 EC4F 2F2C 5F59 9690 09E5 4C0F 9DB0 8623 53CE Practical politics consists in ignoring facts. -- Henry Adams
