You might try opening the HotSync Manager inside the Palm Folder, and click the button "Disable HotSync" and uncheck the "Enable HotSync software at startup" Since you have the Palm software loading at startup, it may be the source of your sound problem. The Palm software is notorious for taking over a serial port and some other aspects of the system, at start up. Unless you HotSync your PDA constantly, you can leave the software turned off until you want to use it. (I had to do that with a laptop. Otherwise I could not use the modem or printer - only one serial port) When I want to use the HotSync software, I just go into the Palm software, and check "Enable HotSync" and perform my backup. Then I go in and check "Disable HotSync" when finished. No restarting the computer needed. You might also look at your Modem and/or File Sharing settings. If your system automatically connects to either of these at startup, they could be "taking over" the sound settings. Nancy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
