(Or even better, install kernel-package and have that handle the compilation process for you.) I suggest you try that. Next step: go to /etc/modutils and create a file sound. In this file, put a line: alias sound esssolo1 Then run update-modules. Reboot your system, and try playing a sound file. P.S.: I had the same sound card in my previous laptop, and I never could make it work under Linux. I hope you have more success. P.P.S.: To answer a few issues raised in other followups: The kernel has a database with all known PCI cards which it uses to populate /proc/pci. This database is independent of the actual device support compiled in. -- G. ``Iggy'' Geens - ICQ: #64109250 Home: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Work: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWW: http://users.pandora.be/guy.geens/ ``I was thinking about how everyone was dying and maybe it's time to live.'' - Eels
