This is telling me that those two modules are not installed, yes? I'm currently running 2.6.3-7mdk - urpmq kernel shows nothing more recent. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I think modprobe accepts only _one_ module name as parameter, so you would use: # modprobe snd_seq_oss # modprobe snd_pcm_oss # modprobe snd_mixer_oss # If you get back the command prompt everything went ok, but I think those modules are already loaded. You can always check with '/sbin/lsmod' which modules are loaded. HTH, -Frans Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] .mov sound
My last post was a little misleading. I had tried alsa before I'd posted the original question. Don't remember exactly when I saw the ...null output messaage but it wasn't when I tried alsa - that just gave no sound as with oss. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
