I have the same problem with xmix (mixer in X). I posted a request of help last week, and I was told that I should recompile the kernel: :You have to compile the kernel with /dev/audio enabled. I haven't done it yet (I'm reluctant on changing the kernel), so I don't know whether it works with my SB16 ISA card. -- Conrado Badenas (Assistant Lecturer) Department of Thermodynamics.
