Just realized one more thing... when I logged in x windows as root, I gained some sound. So this make me think that there must be a directory where its permissions is only for root. Does anyone know which directory this may be?

The board that I am running is a PCCHIPS 741LMRT The cpu is a 400 MHz Celeron, 128 MB SDRAM (will upgrade to 256 later on), onboard video (SiS620 8 MB VRAM), onboard C-Media sound card (CMI-8738 chipset). The os that I am running is again Slackware (9.0 beta) Now I was able to configure the video card just fine under xfree (found the card under its list of supported cards) and my MS scroll wheel optical trackball. But the only thing that I can not figure out is the sound. Now the os loads the drivers during boot and finds the card just fine. But how can I get xfree to use those drivers? Or where shound I download some? Thanks, Rafael Cheng On Sun, 24 Nov 2002, Mr. Rafael Cheng wrote: Hello folks, Since I am writing to this newsgroup you all can tell I am a newbie. Anyhow I am trying to get sound working in Xwindows. I am currently running Slackware (recent version) and was able to get some sound wokring there. But I can not get any sound except the default speaker to work in xwindows. My sound card is junkie onboard CMIpci. Now when I installed Slackware, it was able to compile to a newer version (sound driver vs. cmipci sound website driver). So now what I am wondering is shouldn't xwindows use the system sound? AKA run off of Slackware's drivers? Any help would be great appreicated.
