if you use some sound daemon (artsd, esd, etc - do you?) check it out from the ps aux list if it is running. If your kernel directly uses your soundcard, then you should check if some processes use the sound-device (/dev/dsp) like that: fuser /dev/dsp at me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fuser /dev/dsp /dev/dsp: 21797 21798 21799 21800 21804 21805 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps aux | grep 21797 charlie 21797 1.4 1.6 21484 8476 ? S 17:49 0:00 xmms [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ if you dont find anything, you can try the following: echo > /dev/dsp if it doesn't succeed, there's a fair chance that you do not have the sounddriver loaded (do you?). are you in the sound group? in the cdrom group? are your boxes set to be loud enough to hear? *scnr* :) HTH charlie -- Végh Károly - System Engineer - UTA - TIS.SAS.BSS Don't worry.
