Probably no use trying to reinstall kdemultimedia: I agree, but this is really strange. As I wrote before, in Mandrake 8.0 I had sound. The modules exist in /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk - so what's changed? I even thought of compiling the Kernel, but that looks like over-kill. It makes no sense that the card stopped working on a newer kernel. And, honestly, I have to say two things: 1 - I'm afraid that if I do compile a kernel, I risk screwing up things that already do work (and no guarantee it'll solve the problem). 2 - In the years I've used Linux, I've come across several configuration problems and in most cases, the solution was not really too difficult, but I can't understand why setting up a sound card requires a doctorate - even Redmond got that part right years ago. //------------------------- Shlomo Solomon E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Date: 27-Jan-2002 Time: 16:29:01 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]
