ALSA rocks. It's pretty much the only reason I use Linux instead of solely OpenBSD. And without ALSA, there'd be no JACK. Apparently there was an article about using Linux in a magazine called something like "Digital Musician" that gave Linux mad props for a cleanly designed and very well implemented sound system. > Where does ALSA mixer store it's settings?

Also check to see if there is an /etc/init.d/alsasound, and if it's being called from /etc/runlevels/default or whatever. You're using gentoo, right? -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
