Thanks for the thorough answer. I've now finally got the time to sit down and try out some of the things you mention.
I simply did: apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686 to change to this later kernel. Once that was done, modprobe es1371 worked. I also added es1371 to /etc/modules. Now, when trying: cat /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav > /dev/audio I actually get the sound playing! However, this is the only type of sound playing that seems to work. Both xmms and mq3 freeze as soon as you try and play an mp3 with them and have to be killed. The Sounds section in the Gnome control panel has a button for previewing wav files, that doesn't work either. I have done more searching through the archives and come across some posts from people with similar problems but none with solutions. Would trying the ALSA drivers instead be the best course of action at this stage? Thanks, Erik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
