Why is this a problem? Since I use the machine only in KDE, it seems logical to configure sound using KDE tools - also, it did work in Mandrake 8.0

Strange thing happened when I decided to re-boot to try your suggestion. 1 - it didn't work - I got the same error message from sndconfig as before. 2 - I tried booting from a previous kernel (2.4.3-20mdk - I think this was the Mandrake 8.0 kernel, but I'm not sure). Sound worked with no further problems or configuration. But the machine locked up after less than a minute, so obviously this kernel conflicts with something else on my system and I have no intention of trying to find out what - I can't see any point backing up to an old kernel just because sound works. BTW, my current kernel is 2.4.8-34.1mdk. But, at least I learned that this is probably a kernel or module problem. Now to find out why :-) //------------------------- Shlomo Solomon E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Date: 27-Jan-2002 Time: 11:10:14 Message sent by XFMail on a LINUX Mandrake 8.1 machine //------------------------- ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
