Ok your problem is definetly esd. Kubuntu uses alsa. U have too load esd-alsa (or alsa-esd). with mplayer, xmms and several others u may have to select the appropriate plugin. U might also have to make a link from /dev/dsp0 to /dev/adsp0. If kmix runs on kubuntu, it's only the output plugins that need to be selected. > > This distro also has a testing kernel 2.6.13 and if > nothing works tomorrow, I will use this. Why not stick to debian. with the latest hardware u will at best require a newer kernel. I use 2.6.17-3 and all my hardware works like a charm. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
