Presumably it's a program rather than a module using es1371 - you can either grep about to find it or add es1370 to /etc/modules and reboot - the first way will provide you with more info about your box and your problem, but the second is quicker. > Regarding "aumix" and OSS modules what are the critical > things to check? It sounds like the OSS modules are about to be resolved - the correct module usually helps :). aumix will just let you set the sound levels on your various channels - just make sure you have the output turned up reasonably on all of them for now and fine tune later. > Cheers, Cristian Good luck, Steve -- The naked truth of it is, I have no shirt. -- William Shakespeare, "Love's Labour's Lost"
