Thanks John and Seve. I ran sndconfig; It said it didn't find any PNP devices, even
though I
have a standard Sound Blaster Pro PNP card. But I was able to select it from the list,
which
contained 3 entrys for SB. It tested the card, and it was able to play sound clips.
The mixer
program now runs, but sound still doesn't work in Xwin. In KDE & Genome, when I try
to setup
system sounds, nothing happens. The default beep test button only makes the simple
internal
pc-speaker respond. Yet, when the system starts, it starts the sound server and the
speakers
make a brief pop sound. So I tried the "chmod a +rw /dev/mixer" command in the
terminal, and
it said "invalid mode". Any ideas? I can't think of anything else to try. Thanks.
