Thanks again Lee > > That _is_ strange re getting it with the UFO. What happens if you > remove the mkvii instrument entirely? Removing the mkviii did not fix the problem.Is there somewhere I can disable the request for the above file or is it hard coded in the fgfs.bin.I dont see anywhere in the preferences file to disable it. > > Can you play the sample separately - through xmms, or whatever media > player you use?

It appears my default sound is usb audio maybe I should try disabling it in the bios and see if it reverts to pci sound.
