The problem is, I do not have any SCSI devices; there all IDE. Linux just thinks there SCSI, I don't know why? Lothar picks up my sound card, but; places it in the "other" catagory? I'll try the "sndconfig" manually. Also, thanks Hugh; Sound Blaster always (well). It was/is a good fall back in windoze also. I'll try it. Don't you just love linux. I can't believe how much better my system runs.
