Jim, The system is running ALSA with OSS API support (the snd_intel8x0 driver is an ALSA driver). OSS API is sometimes required for sound -- especially in games.

Let the list know if you come up with a better one. - Sebastian On Tue, 3 Jan 2006, James Washer wrote: > > > I warned you this was a noob question...
