Thanks a lot for being so helpful Clemens! :) This has been a problem for many days now, but after I followed your instructions, now Gnome starts up fine, and I can play sound. I rewrote the modules.conf file a bit, mainly to make it more legible. May I ask you or someone else to review it and see that everything is OK? I hope I didn't misunderstand or forget any of what you wrote. Now there's only one problem, I can't grab the sound of the "usb" microphone. I run the gnome-sound-recorder application, and save as a wav file. But when I play it back there's no sound. However, my ordinary microphone do record sound. Of course, I have checked the mixer app, and the usb microphone is at max input gain, and also set to "rec". Thanks! /Hakon
