What have you been using to 'play' wav or au files as root? Never got that far. Get this--I set oss up the start as the root user (per the instructions) but at boot up (I used webmin to build it into the init.d and rc0.d files)and that seems to have fixed it. Go figure. All of the Gnome sound effects are working. CD players and Mixers OK. RoseGarden, XMikMod, XWave, Emusic, OK. thanks for the help! Wayne as usual your pointers were right on target! AHHH, YESSS!
