Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I did already run alsaconf as root prior to the transcript pasted in my last post. There is no PCI sound card, only the onboard sound which I am using. What is bizarre is that I have this same problem on two very different machines - a Dell Precision 420 desktop, and an IBM Thinkpad T21 laptop. Which leads to the suspicion either of a bug in 'etch', or more likely something that I have done wrong. It certainly looks like a bug from where I'm sitting, even if it works for everyone else! ;-/ Any other suggestions much appreciated... Cheers, -bernie.
