Thanks, Brendan, but nothing has changed in my physical setup all along. Sound worked before kde3.2 but is rs now. Also it was acknowledged on bugzilla that modules-init-tools-3.0_pre9, which was loaded with kde3.2, caused some fatal module notices on boot, along with the noise I have. The suggested fix (downgrade to _pre5) removed the fatal notices but did not cure the sound. As for turning speakers off, I have, but they work unpowered. OK, next step pull out the speaker lead. I'd rather there was a real fix. Regards. -- Dennis Robertson 2/2 Sylvia Street Noosaville QLD Australia Phone: 61 7 54742343 Mobile: 0419 535539 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
