I don't remember what state the sound driver stuff was in for slink, but You should probably consider upgrading to Debian 2.2 (potato), the third revision of which was just released a couple days ago. Sound support is one of those things where Linux is constantly making great strides, so much is bound to have changed since slink. To install ALSA, I have traditionally just downloaded the source for the modules and installed it by hand. I know it's possible to do it within the Debian system, but installing it by hand worked well enough and was easy enough that I never bothered to see how well it worked. ALSA is quite well documented. Have a look at http://www.alsa-project.org/ Note that to build the alsa modules you'll need to either install the full sources for your kernel or at least the kernel-headers package. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
