I have been exploring, trying to find out what is happening (or not) with these devices that I can't get working. Twice today I have got into the Control Panel, Information, and asked for information about usb devices, then found the Control Panel locked up. It can be minimised, but not closed.
I could find no way out, so I had to ask for a shutdown. I got messages about failures due to 'illegal seek'. On re-starting there appears to have been massive damage (both times, so I daren't try again) requiring a manual fsck to repair it. Now my system is up, but my sound has disappeared. I'll just have to hope I haven't done irreparable damage. Meanwhile, how should one deal with a problem like this? I know 'kill' is supposed to get you out of trouble, but you need to know what you're going to kill, don't you? All help gratefully received. Anne
