did you forgot to "unmute" the card? under "WARNING" you should have read WARNING!!! The mixer channels for the ALSA driver are muted by default!!! ************************************************************************** You would use some ALSA or OSS mixer to set the appropriate volume. you can use alsamixer,gamix,etc or any mixer will do to unmute the card. -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
