Sorry I should have know better than to be that imprecise. iirc is just shorthand for if I remember correctly. Using the regular kernel its just # modprobe smb > What's the most 'simple' solution?

Do i really miss another module? > (And where can i find it...) ALSA stands for Advanced Linux Sound Architechture. It's the next generation sound api that is going into kernel 2.6 (hopefully). There is no alsa support in the stock kernel sources from debian, so unless you get an alsa patch for 2.4 from somewhere on the net, nothing that has anything to do with alsa is ever going to work. Forget alsa until you get regular sound working. Try compiling the kernel with the Intel sound driver (Intel ICH (i8xx), SiS 7012, etc. etc.). If you compile it directly into the kernel it should be activated at reboot. Now as root add your user to the audio group with: # adduser username audio Alternatively you can enable audio for all users with: # chmod 666 /dev/dsp This should be it. An easy way to test it is with xmms. Anders
