Sound has been a problem for me too. On my 6500 (yes, I know it's *really* old), I get no dmasound. A partial solution is to use alsa. If you do this make sure you uninstall the dmasound modules. ALSA is not perfect because I have no volume control at all unless I use alsa-player, and even then the maximum volume is only half of what it should be. If I try to use a mixer when xmms or mp3blaster is playing the sound starts to break up completely. I'm planning to try the alsa-xmms plugin to see what happens, but it's only available in unstable at the moment and I'm running stable, and I haven't figured out how to run one unstable package on a machine that is running stable everywhere else -- but I'll get there. So, in short, try ALSA. Cheers, Paul > > -Thanks > Nathan > > __________________________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
