Hi Cheryl and all: The cvs speak freely module name is speak_freely. You should not have to modify the Makefile at all for most situations. Half duplex will still be specified but alsa doesn't care about that. I suspect your mike problem is because in the latest beta versions capture is separate from the individual hardware settings. If you mute mike then you won't hear it on your speakers. You then set capture on mike and set a capture volume separately like this: amixer set Capture 15 The volume for capture is between 0 and 15. You will also want to make sure the 20dB boost setting is on. The asound.state file I sent you was from an older version of alsa beta6 or something like that. I wouldn't expect it to work directly with your set up. Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
