Strangely enough this does not sound weird. The new board I have has a sound chip which is supposed to be compatible with a ES1371, so I selected this module at install time. When I tried to play a CD under Ice, or WMaker, there was no sound. Fix the sound was one of the things I have on my "fix-later" list. Are you saying that the sound freeze is the cause of the Gnome desktop freeze? I am so new as to not be able to disable a sound module or re enable another one. I am hopeful of a fix that does not require *another* full installation Keith -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ Keith O'Connell | "That which does not kill Maidstone, Kent (UK) | us, usually still hurts.
