just as a quick and dirty suggestion: have you tried alsa? it solved a lot of problems on my ibm i series thinkpad - the oss free ess solo driver is experimental and it's quite noticable. and alsa seems to have reached a stable state in which you just do ./configure && make && make install and everything is fine - no fiddling with anything was necessary. the only things you have to do afterwards is changing your /etc/modutils/aliases. i guess that the 390 uses ess solo as well but even if it is another chip - with this you'd be trying a different driver. heby -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christoph Hebeisen Graduate Student Department of Physics Simon Fraser University Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6 Phone +1 604 291-5924 Canada Fax +1 604 291-3592 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
