|Jose, I tried it and now I have no sound. When you say delete |all memory |resident modules and references in /etc/modules.conf do you |mean the ones |relating to sound only or everything in modules.conf? You remove ONLY sound related modules from /etc/modules.conf. I hope you made a backup of this file... "Joe" and other editors do this for you so you may want to check. |I removed them |incorrectly I think and will probably have to reinstall to get |anything to |make a sound. Also, this confuses me and Mandrake should think |about the way |they name things, there is the Mandrake Control Center which |requires root |priveledges and there is the KDE control center which is |accessed from the |desktop control panel without having to give root password. |Which of the two |are you refering to when you indicate the Mandrake Control |Panel. Mandrake Control Panel = Mandrake Control Center = Control Panel KDE Control Panel is normally explicitly stated to differentiate it, AKA Kcontrol, etc. |Sorry for |being so dense, but I sometimes think to hard about how |something is said and |end up miss interpreting. Anyway now I am without sound at |all, so is there |a better way to start over with the sound than doing a new install? Even a new install will only get you back to where you were. Follow my directions. Set up your sound card from the MANDRAKE (Not KDE!) control Center/Panel (there is only one unless you've found something else!). Click on the SBLIVE card in the device list, then it's "configure" button. Don't worry about not hearing sound (as the volume levels may be way to low to hear at first!) but accept the configuration and reboot. Then do an "lsmod" and your list should appear like mine with a slew of new entries. Go into AuxMix and set the levels and "save" the mixer levels from Kcontrol. The latter sets up the Alsa-CTRL configuration files. Now in Kcontrol's MIDI section you'll see 5 entries that did not appear before. One is for the Midi/Joystick port, and the other 4 similar entries are for the EMU10K's Midi Synth which will finally work AFTER you load up a sound font. Select one. Kmidi and clicking on a Midi file from Konqueror (as well as Midi's via web pages) will now play... Etc. -JMS
