debian used to come with a program called sndconfig that always did the trick for me. I know this is not a "ground up" approach, but maybe worth a try. btw - it's only available in woody, though. Also - if you *just* added yourself to the audio group... you need to completely log out , then log in again. HTH. That was a funny post, BTW. -- Regards, dbp
