I'd suggest to use ALSA if your sound card is supported. Do : $ lspci -v to find your sound card's exact type and check the card matrix at www.alsa-project.org to see if it's supported. Then check these pages for how to install alsa (the debian way): http://www.linuxorbit.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=541&page=1 http://www.sonic.net/~rknop/linux/debian_alsa.html -- Manolis Tzanidakis (mtzanidakis-at-freemail-dot-gr) Jabber: mtzanidakis@jabber.org ICQ: 102798230 GnuPG Key Fingerprint: 5CA5 41D6 09F1 C4B9 C331 65EF 4B3F 6979 EB8C 88F3 Get my public key at: pgp.mit.edu
