Hi, I have sound running fine on my machine for example I installed GNOME today and esd works fine. What has never worked is sound from the cdrom....I remember the sound HOWTO mentioning that this was a 'different' issue but I don't know what causes it. Could anyone point me in the right direction please? Steve ps this has always bugged me and since you guys solved one problem for me today I thought I'd push my luck ;)
