Hi! Is sound Hardware installed ? - kernel Module loaded ? - Can you do this: " cat vmlinuz > /dev/dsp " ?
Are you in group audio? - in /etc/group: audio:x:29:<loginname> If everything is configured well you can do this: look if esd is running : "ps ax | grep esd" if not ... Start X and enlightenment. Go to Xterm and start the E Sound Daemon manually with "esd" perhaps you have to restart enlightenment. Hope itīs running now ... cu, mfl On Sun, Nov 19, 2000 at 09:58:46AM -0800, Donnell wrote: > Hi. > > I recently installed GNU/Linux 2.2 on a PowerComputing PowerBase 180.
