Many thanks for help. This is what I found in Soundcard in HardDrake:
Vendor: ESS Technology Model: ES1969 Solo-1 Audiodrive This is the Kernel Module: snd-card-es1938 Bus Type: PCI And system prompts this when I try to open KMenu->Multimedia->Sound->Audio Mixer: Not able to open audio device. Please check that you have permission to /dev/mixer and make sure you have sound support compiled into your kernel I am root running all these. >From GNome Control Center, I could only see 2 tick box for "Enable Soundserver Startup" and "sounds for events". And they ARE ticked. Doesn't what I see in HardDrake mean the sound support is already compiled into my kernel? And there is no "mixer" in the /dev directory. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
