Hi Dubphil. That isn't working. I added the bit to /etc/make.conf. Then emerged alsa-drivers alsa-tools alsa-utils. Complained it couldn't find drivers. Probably because they're part of the kernel. So ran emerge alsa-tools alsa-utils, but no progress with this problem. I really do think it is a kernel problem. Thanks anyway. Nigel. On Tuesday 09 Aug 2005 9:19 pm, Dubphil wrote: > > Hi Lee.
