Hello, When I run sndconfig, it finds the card and then tries to play the sample file. This worked the first time, last weekend. Now it just does not play the file. I tested the speakers, and they are working and connected properly. /etc/modules.conf gives me: alias sound-slot-0 es1371 post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || lsmod does show the driver. aumix -q gives me: vol 0, 0 pcm 64, 64 speaker 64, 64 line 64, 64, R mic 64, 64, P cd 64, 64, P igain 64, 64, P line1 64, 64, P phin 64, 64, P phout 64, 64 video 64, 64, P It did work right after i installed Fedora Core. I wonder if I tested it before rebooting more than once or twice. I saw one note in the sounds how-to that said somehting about a plug and play bios and a sound card trying to take IRQ 15. Everything else in that file seemed to presuppose that sound had never worked, or just did not apply. <shrug> I'm suspicious because I bought this computer from CompUSA with Linux pre-installed, and they put it all on one partition and did an install that left out most all the console apps I wanted to learn. That probably isn't enough of a reason to jump to conclusions, but at least a BIOS is something I understand. <grin> Brian On Sun, 2 May 2004, Janina Sajka wrote: > What happens when you run sndconfig? Or, did you move to alsa per chance? What are the references to sound in your /etc/modules.conf? Are the sound drivers showing when you do lsmod?
