Thank you Denis for the answer, I was starting to give up :-)
If I understand you right, you are refering to the script in the LTSP directory (in my case /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.sound). When I looked at that file, I found (line 66): export ESD_SPAWN_OPTIONS="-public" I did try adding "-public" in the config file for my the server, but that did not help any. That got be wondering if a setting on the servers config file was messing me up. Currently I have esd being launched (at the server) with: /etc/esound/esd.conf [esd] auto_spawn=0 # tried with '-public' but did not help LTSP clients spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 5 spawn_wait_ms=100 # default options are used in spawned and non-spawned mode default_options= Looking through the 'man esd' I am wondering if I should have auto_spawn=1 or maybe -tcp as one of the options. I know I could just try it out and see, but I am wondering if anyone might know -- Even if one or both of the options work, would I be opening up some other problem on the server?(the "server" is also my work station) On Wed, 19 Apr 2006 01:20:30 +0200 Denis Cardon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi gentgeen, > > > I have a problem with sound after the first login.
