Hi their. Recently, I have upgraded to Kernel 2.6.8. I've used the speakup-enabeled ones that Bill posted up on bumpy. When I rebooted, for some strange reason, its using OSS drivers instead of the ALSA ones. Anyone experience any problem similar to this? If so, any suggestions on how I could correct it? Thanks for all your help. Take care, -- Erik Heil <eheil at va3duk.serveftp.com> Phone: (865) 673-0542
