My soundcard is a Creative Blaster64.
Do you choose auto detect or other options?

Thanks for your help, carefree.
I do have analogue sound - well I did until a few days ago when my CD drive packed up. A replacement is on the list.
There is only me uses the computer. My wife isn't interested in using it.
Sorry, but I have done as you suggested and there are still the same error messages. I have even tried running the program as root. No difference. However, on starting the computer now, I get this additional error message, titled Informational - artsmessage:
Sound server informational message.
Error while initializing the sound driver.
can't get requested samplingrate (requested rate 8000, got rate 48000) The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
Originally, ls -al showed that root owned everything in /dev/sound
Any further advice, please?
Cheers
Keith
