You should see this: $ ls -ld /dev/snd/ /dev/snd/* drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 140 2007-10-10 10:17 /dev/snd/ crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 0 2007-10-10 10:17 /dev/snd/controlC0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 24 2007-10-10 10:17 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 16 2007-10-10 10:17 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 17 2007-10-10 10:17 /dev/snd/pcmC0D1p crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 2007-10-10 10:17 /dev/snd/timer It looks like somthing goes wrong with the snd* modules on your system since only /dev/snd/timer is created. Let's poke around a little... Please post the output of cat /dev/sndstat (I hope that /dev/sndstat exists. I forgot to write the previous "ls..." command such that it would have included this device node.) Otherwise I would try to unload the sound modules, reload them, check the error messages and hope for further clues. To do all this, run as root: modprobe -r snd_pcm_oss modprobe -r snd_hda_intel This will unload the modules. If you use Gnome/KDE/etc. then you might have to log out for these commands to work. Afterwards you should see no output anymore for "lsmod | grep snd". Next you trigger udev, which should load the modules again: udevtrigger It is normal not to get any output from this command, but you should see the modules again with lsmod afterwards. Then, hopefully, the system log will tell us what went wrong, so run dmesg | tail and post the output here. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
