According to your web site Pierre, the systoms of our sound card problems are the same. Unfortunately, your well-written script does not fix my problem. /dev/sound/dsp does exist on start up but the link /dev/dsp does not until I run Harddrake and then all is OK. Manually creating the link does not fix the problem either. I wonder if the ES1370 sound card is not fully detected during the boot stage? -- Regards, Phil [EMAIL PROTECTED]
