-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Well, what's strange here is out of 3 or four restarts, it actually worked once. Yes, I do have an on-board sound card but I'm pretty sure that is disabled from the BIOS. It always comes up as the primary and only sound card in my normal slackware setup. I'll have to see if I can mess with volume stuff from a console but without speech, it's really hard to really know what is going on. I just find it strange that it will work once in a while. When I don't have any speech, I also don't have any start-up sounds either. It goes through all the boot sequence and visually the desktop appears.
