Hello, I tried the Java Sound Demo on Debian/Etch with Sun Java5 and got similar problems. Demo: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/samples/JavaSoundDemo/ I analysed the issue and find out that the Sun VM use the /dev/dsp device. -> It is the old sound interface and so you need the package oss-compat (apt-get install oss-compat).
