I had a similar problem with mine. Sound worked in KDE, but not Gnome. A little digging revealed that there was no /dev/dsp, it was (for some odd reason) set up as: /dev/sound/dsp. A link fixed it. There's probably a better way though. Any suggestions on why /dev/sound/dsp was set up, rather than the more standard /dev/dsp? -- Ric Tibbetts Linux registration number: 55684 If you want to help advertise Linux - point your friends to http://counter.li.org/
