I don't think that applies, anyway. :-) I've got on-board sound. Gigabyte GA-7ZXE motherboard with a VIA KT133A chipset on it. It will emulate a soundblaster if it needs to. Alan, you mention kmix and aumix - can you be a bit more specific? Where do I find those to run them? They just programs that you can run from a shell window? Something else? I happened to have a copy of my /etc/modules.conf file from the 9.0 setup, which I was able to compare with the one that was created for 9.1. I noticed a slight difference in some of the lines..... >From the 9.0 setup: alias usb-interface usb-uhci alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio alias eth0 tulip And from the new 9.1 setup: above snd-via82xx snd-pcm-oss alias eth0 tulip alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx probeall usb-interface usb-uhci (Question: What does "above" in a modules.conf file do?) I've edited the new modules.conf file and commented out the "above" line as well as the existing alias for sound-slot-0, and put in the alias for that from the old 9.0 setup. Once I have a chance to reboot, I'll see if that fixes the problem. If not, I'll keep playing with those settings a bit and see what comes of it. Wish me luck. :-) --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key
