I have 3 Debian installs that started off as Woody 3.0r2, then upgraded to Sarge (which was then testing) One of these is now getting updates from testing which is now Etch. I looked in my /etc/fstab and don't have that entry either and yet jack starts ok as user. The only extras in /etc/fstab are for the 2.6 kernel. none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0 I admit I had some problems getting Debian's sound working, having only previously worked on sounds on FC1 & FC2 from planetccrma, and Slackware 10.0 with Audioslacks mmkernel and packages. Some folks on lists helped me with the Debian sounds. I had to add myself to the audio group, and as I don't have realtime, had to uncheck the realtime box in qjackctl before jack would start. This worked fine as user for kernel 2.4.27, apart from having to comment out in /etc/hotplug/blacklist the entry for awe_wave which I also added to /etc/modules. This is to enable the loading of soundfonts on my Audigy2 soundblaster card. For the 2.6 kernels I had to add more modules to /etc/modules to get my usb midi keyboard working, as below. snd-usb-audio uhci-hcd snd-emu10k1-synth (needed for loading soundfonts onto Audigy2 soundblaster card for 2.6 kernel) Also nothing to do with sounds, but X wouldn't start with 2.6 kernel, and had to add mousedev & psmouse to /etc/modules which fixed this. You are no doubt a member of the audio group. If not, the synax as root, is. #usermod -G audio your_user_name. All the best. Nigel. Debian Sarge/Etch Kernels: 2.4.27, 2.6.8, 2.6.11 Alsa version: 2.4.27 kernel. Alsa 1.0.9. 2.6.11 kernel, Alsa 1.0.8
