I'm running the 7.1 version of Mandrake. At bootup I get the following messages: es1371: version v0.22 time 15:43:49 May 10 2000 es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x1371 revision 0x07 es1371: found es1371 rev 7 at io 0x1800 irq 5 es1371: features: joystick 0x0 es1371: codec vendor v (0x838476) revision 8 (0x08) es1371: codec features 18bit DAC 18bit ADC es1371: stereo enhancement: SigmaTel SS3D es1371: unloading es1371: version v0.22 time 15:43:49 May 10 2000 es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x1371 revision 0x07 es1371: found es1371 rev 7 at io 0x1800 irq 5 es1371: features: joystick 0x0 es1371: codec vendor v (0x838476) revision 8 (0x08) es1371: codec features 18bit DAC 18bit ADC es1371: stereo enhancement: SigmaTel SS3D However, sound does NOT work after boot until I run the program "sounddrake", log out, and log in again. "sounddrake" is an interactive command and I cannot find any docs for it. How do I run sounddrake at boot time so I don't have to execute it manually after every boot? -- Marshall Lake - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://melake.erols.com http://melake.erols.com/the-beach http://melake.erols.com/genealogy
