Re: [newbie] Esound (ESD?) error

Yes I believe the issue is that ESD is not running. How do we check this and then get it to load at boot?   Thanks,   Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: Federico Silva To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Friday, June 23, 2000 9:01 AM Subject: RE: [newbie] Esound (ESD?) error Hi,     am having the same problem. Can use the CDPlayer ok but when it comes to system beeps and blurps it won't.     I can't get xmms to reproduce any mp3 either.       I had Debian installed and it worked OK, i had to configure it all by hand, recompile the kernel and all but it worked.     As mandrake did the trick for me and it is a little different from Debian I don't know whta to do.     My problem with Debian was that all the libs are opld and the newer programs couldn't work     and my Internet link is so slow :( that an on-line update is not an option.        Any help is much welcome as my girlfriend did like KDE very much more than windoze but she does want     to hear it beep and blurp :) ... -f. -----Original Message----- From: Joe Lore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: viernes 23 de junio de 2000 12:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Esound (ESD?) error  I never saw a copy of my last message so please forgive if you got this twice.     ========================   Hi, Thanks to all the help I have successfully installed Mandrake 7.1. I am having one small issue though. I have a Sound Blaster Live and the driver loads ok, I am able to play CD's and I get the test sound when I go to the configurator. I'm not, however, able to enable system sounds. When I try to enable system sounds I get an error like: There was an error with the audio server (Esound)  (is this the ESD?) system sounds have been disabled. What causing this? Thanks again for the help. Joe
