I don't know whether this is an alsa or a devfsd problem. The first time I do 'alsasound start', I hear the sound card click into action, and all the proper modules are loaded, but no device entries are generated by devfsd. After a stop and start again, the device entries are generated and the card works. I can get the same results with just: modprobe snd-ens1371 rmmod snd-ens1371 modprobe snd-ens1371 -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
