I appreciate your response. I installed the Gnome desktop because the download of 10.3 had me choose either that or KDE, and I'm more familiar with Gnome (I use it in Fedora). Using KDE instead might solve my problem, but I am trying to use this experience to learn more about Linux, so I'm going to try to go ahead with this Gnome desktop unless I can't get the problem solved. I couldn't seem to get alsaconf to run, even when logged in as root. The command couldn't seem to be found. I'll look into that more tomorrow. By the way, what does CMIMW mean?
