Hi Shaun, Thanks for that, it proved to be very useful. I am indeed using the alsa drivers, though I hadn't downloaded the libraries and utilities, there was no mention of them on the page so I ignored those directories on the ftp site. Anyway, I've used amixer to set up my sound card and it all works fine now, and with no break-ups, thanks for all your help. I didn't realise my sound card would have so many groups! Bt, why would it have a video group? Cheers. -- Toby Fisher Email: toby at g0ucu.freeserve.co.uk Tel.: +44(0)1480 417272 Mobile: +44(0)7974 363239 ICQ: #61744808
