Hi All, I have installed speakup as follows: downloaded the boot and root disks for slackware 7.0 and a dectalk express. I booted with the boot disk; everything is fine. I inserted the root disk; everything is fine. Speakup runs perfectly; I downloaded loadspk and installed it; everything is fine. However, I had no sound on my SBLIVE card. I re-installed my alsa (three parts), but I still have no sound. I get the message, when I try to modprobe my card, like "unresolved symbols" and such. I'm puzzled as to what to try next. One more mystery: On bootup, I get an announcement of "Error in init string" before I get the login prompt. I get this announcement even if I have silenced speakup with the return on the keypad. Is this a mystery anyone has heard of? Thanks. Larry
