May just give up on sound. > =wl Oh the embarrassment.... So I look at the back of my box... and, you guessed it, the speaker wire was unplugged. *DOH*!! Now it works fine. Boy, is my face red. I thought it was plugged in because the modem was plugged in to the speaker, but the sound card wasn't... that's what I get for assuming. After reading some more kernel documentation, I've come to the conclusion that the "Installed drivers" and "Card config" sections of /proc/sound are for drivers that are compiled into the kernel, not as modules. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks for everybody's help getting this working, =wl -- Albert ``Willy'' Lee, Emacs user, game programmer "They call me CRAZY - just because I DARE to DREAM of a RACE of SUPERHUMAN MONSTERS!"
