I'm a bit confused about multiple settings :-( According to alsa manual, this is needed in modules.conf: # Alsa stuff alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ens1371 # Oss compatibility stuff alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss -- Guillaume Rousse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG key http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/gpgkey.html
