Right - I'd thought about that. What I'm really wondering is whether my problem is strictly alsaconf related. > So in short, if you run hotplug, it should automagically load the modules > required for your system. I think I'm going to try removing _both_ discover and alsa-utils, then. I still think Discover finds stuff that hotplug doesn't, but it's worth seeing if I get sound without them. Definitely discover and hotplug are duplicating some things. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
