It would help to know what sound card you are using. Do a `lsmod` on both the livecd and regular versions, see if the livecd loads all of the sound modules (snd_*). A kludgy way of fixing the problem: If the livecd just loads everything, start loading snd_ modules with modprobe until you find one that works. Alternately, find out which module your sound card uses and load it (assuming your kernel was built with your soundcard support as a module.) -Mark _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
