It looks to me like the "snd_driver" did it (since it shows "snd_es127x" loaded), but if you still are not getting any sound then check some things. 1) The parts list you pasted seems like it's the Creative CT5807 sound card. I don't see that particular model on the hardware supported list, although similar models are listed under that driver (man snd_es137x). 2) Check the volume. Type "mixer" at a shell and make sure the levels are up. The manpage for "mixer" should tell you how to change those settings if you need to. 3) Are you running KDE or artsd? On one of my machines that I set sound up on a long time ago everything was going fine (no errors, sndstat showed it, etc) but KDE's artsd interfered with the volume when KDE was on. So if you are in KDE then I'd say to stop the GUI and go to the console where artsd won't be running and then do your testing. You can also disable artsd but I'm not sure where as it's been a while since I've used KDE. 4) Are your speakers/headphones/mixer volumes up? -Mark -- GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941)
