I'm afraid I do not know what is "artsd". Most importantly, and you've probably > posted this in the past, what sound chip are you using?

Some > information about what you're using would be beneficial in trying to help The sound is controlled by a PCI "Creative Sound Blaster Live! + 5.1". Onboard sound is disabled (by a jumper). The home theater is a "Cambridge SoundWorks DTT3500 Digital Five Satellite/Subwoofer". Funny thing is that one of the leads (for digital output) blinks if there is no signal to the amplifier, but with Mandrake, it remains solid. That leads me to think that no complicated configuration is needed, and that perhaps it is only adjusting the volume or something like that. > with this one. > > Post the output of this shell command from a terminal as super user: > > lspcidrake -v Here it goes.

I got this post of yours only as a message for me, not as a post in the list. If you had replied only to the list, I wouldn't have got it.
