A little specificity man!!! Which sound chipset is in the machine? There are tons of posts around the net of people having a great deal of problem iwht some Intel High Definition Audio / Sigmatel chipsets. These are usually found on late model machines. (In fact I had a brand spanking new Dell Dimension 9200 in for a Suse 10.2 install this week. I spent a whole day trying to get that damn sound system to work with all the latest alsa versions and even surfed the intel site. I finally went into the bios, turned off the onboard sound and slapped an old PCI Sound Blaster card in and sound configured perfectly the first time. Of course I can't bill the customer for all the time I wasted on that crap intel sound system. But hey, dell saved 37ยข). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
