The computer has a SoundBlaster PCI 16 card installed. I've got everything to the point where when I boot it up and do 'lsmod' I see that the es1371 module is indeed loaded. Then I can do "ps -A" and see that the 'esd" sound server is running. I can go to /usr/share/sounds and do 'esdplay wavfile.wav' and it plays. Also, the Multimedia applets are working. What isn't working is are Gnome event-sounds. I go to Settings/Multimedia/Sound and bring up the Sound Event tab. I can click on any of the event sounds and hit he Play button nothing happens. Any pointers? Admittedly this a *not* a showstopper, but it would be nice to understand/fix the problem! Thanks and Cheers, -rick
