This has been working fine without it up until now. While, as I've said, it could be hardware, isn't it a bit of a puzzle that Alsa isn't installed? I used the Sarge Net-Install and did not use any extra package groups like "Desktop" and only installed a few packages later, like ssh, rsync, and a few other utils that help on a server. Since then I installed flac, crip, cdcd, and aumix and have been using it to rip CDs to flac. Alsa was not installed as a dependent package for any of them. Is it me, or is it a bit odd it's working with the drivers but no Alsa? Hal
