Re: Sound in g4
With ALSA/Debian I have the issue that I have to add snd to /etc/modules manually. /etc/init.d/alsa won't do anything otherwise, as /proc/asound does not exist. Not sure if the init script is from debian or alsa. This happens on all hardware platforms. In your case, a modprobe snd-powermac should load the sound driver for you. Run alsamixer to unmute it.

I thank you martin, that cracked it, atleast for now, haven't restarted the computer yet, but I did modprobe snd-powermac, and that loaded all the snd modules, and then I changes the group id of /dev/dsp so that my user's group had permission to it, and long story short three logout's later kde finally uttered sound on startup and did not give me the /dev/dsp not found or /dev/dsp (permission Denied) errors. looks like there's a lot of subtle little differences in debian and ubuntu, as it looks like I am going to have to change o lot of group id's just so I can access them without being root.

Kuser reports that indeed I am a part of the admin and audio group, so I am guessing I did that right, please let me know if I did not. all you need to do is to 'adduser username group', and log in again. you can use 'groups' to list the groups you are part of, and a similar 'deluser username group' to remove a user from a group. on a desktop sarge install, it gives the following $ groups piem dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev except if you installed gnome or other packages (alsa?) after creating your user. then you will want to add yourself to the above groups. the 'plugdev' group is to have group-volume-manager automount your devices. the group 'src' is also useful to compile kernels in /usr/src as a user. and the 'adm' one sometimes, to read the syslogs. bye, piem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I am not sure it is the best way, and no little to nothing about the rc scripts, but what I had to do was echo both snd and snd-powermac into the /etc/modules file to get it to work right, and play around with the usermod command to give myself access to various things. adduser is a lot simpler to use i found. $ adduser mike audio I still haven't managed to get kscd to work right, but that is probably another group I will have to add my user to in order to be able to access the cdrom. And it also has (probably) something to do with the same reason that things don't automount, but again, Thanks you need to be part of the plugdev group to have automount working: $ sudo apt-get install gnome-volume-manager $ sudo adduser $USER plugdev bye, piem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Configuring sound on G4 PowerBook
This has probably been explained several times on this list, but searching the archives didn't turn up anything with the search words I used :( I installed Woody a couple days ago and it is working fine so far -- except I have no sound. Can someone point me to a howto or something similar? TIA John

Re: Configuring sound on G4 PowerBook
NB: I never tried the softmodem. The current iBooks also have a softmodem. It exists a driver for it. You will find it with google. If you find it, you should also use an init string like this: ATZM0L0 If not, it might behave strange when dialling. Bye, Claas
