Hi Lars, Do you know how the game tries to access the sound card? That is, what library does it use? If it uses SDL, you might check to see that you've got the proper SDL library installed. There are many options, depending on your sound configuration: libsdl1.2debian-all - Simple DirectMedia Layer (with all available options) libsdl1.2debian-alsa - Simple DirectMedia Layer (with X11 and ALSA options) libsdl1.2debian-arts - Simple DirectMedia Layer (with X11 and aRts options) libsdl1.2debian-esd - Simple DirectMedia Layer (with X11 and esound options) libsdl1.2debian-oss - Simple DirectMedia Layer (with X11 and OSS options) If you've got the wrong one, you will have problems. Sorry if the game doesn't use SDL, but as it's not in the archives, I've no way to check. HTH. Justin Guerin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
