OK, that was it! Duh, slap forehead: no cable from CDR to Ensoniq (which I earlier specified as ISA, but I was staring cross-eyed at my modem -- it's a PCI card) which fortunately has inputs for CD and AUX. So now both the CDR and CDRW play thru speakers. Thanks to Dennis, Tom, s et al for an education in how Windoze and Linux differ in their approach to hardware. I just couldn't wrap my mind around WinME getting sound from both devices -- a mental block. So it was sucking vibes through the motherboard, bypassing the cable. What a hoot! So now I'll turn my attention to the ISA modem, which pnpdump has told me all about. I gather I can just check the settings in Windows and there's a pretty good chance if those show up commented, I can uncomment and feed to isapnp, to get a working modem (I have DSL already working, so this isn't super high priority -- more in the "just for fun" category). I'll have to read up on how to make sure isapnp runs at boot time.... Kirby
