So if trying to get sound into the computer >is "strange things," then I guess I do them. As do I, David. And PA wrecked it all until I had gotten out the knife and removed as much of it as I could. This is not to say that something like PA isn't potentially useful, but to ship a completely broken PA, and then the only help offered was the advice to remove it, seems to be highly counter-productive to getting it, or something like it, working. However, here on this system PA was a solution (if it worked, I'm dubious) in search of a problem I didn't have. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
