Works OK on all my Apple machines. [EMAIL PROTECTED] stew]$ grep sound /etc/modules.conf alias sound-slot-0 dmasound_pmac The alias may have been slightly different in 8.2. That's from 9.1 and I don't have an 8.2 install handy at the moment. -- Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft

Try using drakconnect without going through harddrake. Harddrake isn't too terrible useful on PPC anyway. -- Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft

I don't really want to upgrade to 9.1 though, it took me long enough to get the 8.2 CDs from MandrakeSoft in the first place. Alex -- Alex Thurgood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

When I click on the configuration tool in the Hardware section of DrakConf, this is what it displays as the module, but the configuration tool that appears is the one used for configuring a sound card. Sounds (pardon the pun) like a bug ? Alex -- Alex Thurgood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I get the best results with ALSA, but I don't know if the version in the kernel you use is recent enough. You should probably upgrade to 9.1 ... just do: modprobe snd-pcm-oss modprobe snd-card-awacs modprobe snd-powermac Only one of the last two modules is present, depends on the alsa driver version. ALSA comes up with volume muted by default, you can get sound working by launching alsamixer in a terminal. Unmute "master", and turn up the volume on "master" and (1st?) "headphone". I use gnome-alsamixer but I doubt you have it on your 8.2 CDs (would be in contrib). Christiaan
