Michael, Thanks for your response.
I tried your suggestions, but still no audio. Here is what I have thus far: 1. The sound hardware is installed. 2. How can I tell if the kernel module has been loaded? 3. "cat vmlinuz > /dev/dsp" returns "bash: /dev/dsp: No such device" 4. I added myself to the audio group 5. "ps ax | grep esd" returns nothing 6. Issuing esd returns "/dev/dsp: No such device" On Sun, 19 Nov 2000 13:47:50 Michael Flaig wrote: > Hi! > > Is sound Hardware installed ? > - kernel Module loaded ? > - Can you do this: " cat vmlinuz > /dev/dsp " ? > > Are you in group audio? > - in /etc/group: > audio:x:29:<loginname> > > If everything is configured well you can do this: > > look if esd �� ��DATA is running : "ps ax | grep esd" > if not ... > Start X and enlightenment.

I am using Enlightenment as the window manager. I can't get any sound. When I choose "Settings:Audio Settings..." and select "Enable sounds," I encounter the following error message: > > > > Error initialising sound > > Audio was enabled for Enlightenment but there was an error > > communicating with the audio server (Esound).
