Rich, was it system sound or sound from games/apps? Sometimes arts will grab
something like /dev/dsp and not let go unless you kill it. If for example, I
start Starcraft (WineX) and there is no sound, I su to root and do a:
lsof /dev/dsp
and it will tell me if arts has a hold of it.
It's system sounds. I haven't tried any games/apps yet.

Rich, I had to append "noapic" to my lilo boot commands and then system sounds worked. You can do it in MCC by just adding the words noapic to the append line. HTH Dennis M.
