Make a backup copy of /etc/modules.conf Run in a root terminal alsaconf That will set up your sound drivers and write a new copy of /etc/modules.conf Copy back the lines from your old modules.conf which are not sound related into your new modules.conf You may need to run the alsamixergui to set sound levels. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
