Hello again, Well, after the night I'm coming back with good new and many questions : 1. I was wrong - there _was_ actually something wrong in the parazmeters I tried in Harddrake, I retrieved them from my windows system config dump and I was able to hear the tests sound (2). The problem was Harddrake stopped again with another message of this time '/lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/olp3.o : init_module 'device or ressource busy' So even if I had heard the sound I think Hardrake did nothing and I still had no sound after exiting. 2. I decided that I should look into modules.conf a bit closer and found _nothing_ about sound. No wonder it didn't work. So I just added : alias snd sb options snd + the parameter I had got through w.... Then sound works quite nice. 3. I still get in /var/log/messages echos of problems of type : Modprobe : could'nt find module sound-slot-1 id w/ sound-service-1-0 I understood reading the ALSA HOWTO (I installed Alsa RPMS) that it must be something trying to access alsa drivers when noone is loaded and I am still using OSS sound driver. 4.Anyway something must have gone wrong with my 7.2 install... isn't it supposed d to install properly the sound drivers during install ? As for using sound (OSS and Alsa) am I supposed to edit the modules-conf by hand or is there something else to do ? Why does someting try to acces this unloaded alsa drivers if the install doesn't install them ? What does the sound daemon do exactly ? it starts OK when booting and where are the parameters? Thanks to anyone who may have answers to this (I suppose there must well be some in the Mandrake staff) ;)
