Barry (and others !) I just found the solution...
You need to have the esd daemon running in the background. So I just typed "esd &" and "esdmon &" in a terminal, and then it worked ! Then, if you type "ps -aux" in the terminal, you will see esd in the list of the running programs. I have now to find wich command is the right one to launch the esd daemon (esd or esdmon ?), and I'll put it in my rc.local file, or in a startup script... Good to hear the sound ! :-) Let us know if it works for you ! N. Le mer 27/11/2002 � 16:06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a �crit : > Nicolas, > > I am having the same problem.
