Frans, I booted LM90 in command line mode without gui and issued sndconfig on the command line. The program found the sound card and did the sample sound test without problem and edited the sound configuration file. But still KDE thinks that there is no sound card. Harddrake lists no sound card. The "/etc/sysconfig/soundcard" file now contains the following lines: # THIS FILE IS WRITTEN BY SNDCONFIG # PLEASE USE SNDCONFIG TO MODIFY # TO CHANGE THIS FILE! # There should be no spaces at the start of a line # or around the '=' sign CARDTYPE=SB16 The "/etc/modules.conf" file noe contains the following lines: probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi probeall usb-interface usb-uhci alias eth0 8139too alias sound-slot-0 sb options sound dmabuf=1 alias synth0 opl3 options opl3 io=0x388 options sb isapnp=1 Tnakx, Seedkum
