1. Mixer volume is set to something besides zero 2. KDE sound server is set to autodetect 3. cable from CDROM to sound input on board 4. speakers or headphones plugged to the light green colored outlet on the back of the machine I say these things because they are the MOST likely for a seasoned veteran to overlook (speaking as a seasoned veteran). Oh yes, not using GDM and not expecting GNOME event sounds which are different problems If you use GDM your user doesn't always get ownership of /dev/dsp* at login so sound is problematic. If you use GNOME and want event sounds, log in to Sawfish and middle-click to get a menu then select Configuration=>Sound and tick the checkboxes at the toip of the window you see, then OK and exit Sawfish and log into GNOME. My K7S5A has exactly that configuration except I have a Voodoo 5 and it works fine with sound.... Civileme Civileme
