Hi Nigel, Thank you. There are no sound cards recognised, and I don't understand why. See following; [graeme@flintstone ~]$ cat /proc/asound/cards --- no soundcards --- [graeme@flintstone ~]$ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.18a. Compiled on Nov 18 2008 for kernel 2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686 (SMP). [graeme@flintstone ~]$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 cat: /proc/asound/card0/codec#0: No such file or directory [graeme@flintstone ~]$ Is there something really basic I'm missing? > > btw.
