OK, I tried, the linux single mode, did not work. A friend suggested the osslinux product, I tried it but couldn't install due to a message "sound is compliled into the kernal.". If I wanted to eradicate any trace of this SB 128 and start over, how would I do this? I tried recompling a kernal with mandrake 5.3 using the rpm's and it failed miserably.. I didn't get too mad since mandrake 6 was in shipment. :) I would REALLY like to fix this problem.. BTW, I cannot get sound with Realplayer also.. I have sound, wav's, midi, but no CD, no Realplay, and many wav's are distorted.. -- =============================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Coming to you with Linux-Mandrake 6.0
