The SuSe DB states that the Sonic Impact should work with the OSS module - in spite of the supported hardware HOWTO.
Sound refuses to work although adding user rland to group audio, in fact the sound card output channel should make the boxes at least do some noise as just tested on the other PC - it doesn't. Does lsmod help tp clarify: MINI:/home/rland# lsmod Module Size Used by nls_cp437 3904 1 (autoclean) fbcon-cfb32 3464 0 (unused) rtl8139 11520 1 videodev 2656 0 (unused) sound 57592 0 (unused) soundlow 416 0 [sound] soundcore 2628 3 [sound] ntfs 34184 0 (unused) smbfs 23952 0 (unused) vfat 9008 0 (unused) nfsd 143460 0 (unused) nfs 28352 0 (unused) lockd 31112 1 [nfsd nfs] sunrpc 52420 1 [nfsd nfs lockd] binfmt_misc 3148 0 autofs 9088 0 (unused) ide-floppy 8444 0 unix 10212 33 (autoclean) sound is indicated as 'unused' - unused by what, by the OS? Dave Sherohman suggested to use gom -it or any other mixer. When do I need a mixer (my aim is just wanting to here the CDROM playing)? A have only little knowledge in this area too. Gnome's "gmix" complaines about "no mixers found" and asks me if I had compiled sound into the kernel. Martin mailed me that /etc/modules.conf would be a optional config file - however, which file does the kernel use to load a module when booting up? Last but not least - linux.aureal.com seems to be dead - sigh. (SuSe recommendes to have a look at this site for various drivers) A general question - do I have to cc my reply to the person helping me? Robert
