Your settings are perfectly fine, especially if you're a member of audio. > I am a member of the following groups: > > users, disk and audio > > (The soundcard I have installed is a SoundBlaster 128PCI, module es1370.o) I used to use that one, too :-). It looks again like an esd problem. gxanim may try to open /dev/dsp directly while esd already opened it? If so, you might want to try `esddsp gxanim`. Here esddsp tries to reroute /dev/dsp read/writes to esd. -- Tschoe, Get my gpg-public-key here Jens http://gecius.de/gpg-key.txt
