Do I need to select them in modconf too? (I *think* that my instructions said that in modconf I should install only soundcore and ALSA... *not* any sound drivers... what about "sound"?

The rest of what's on that page looks to be "how to install with 'make'" (which, er, appears not to apply to my case) and how to tweak the .asoundrc file, which it says is optional (so I'll worry about that after basic functionality is achieved)... > Are you by chance using DevFS?

And yep, /dev/mixer seems to exist: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan 26 15:48 mixer -> /dev/mixer0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 0 Jan 26 15:48 mixer0 Still pokin' away at it (albeit with limited understanding). I'm starting to suffer withdrawal from my favourite webcast station... :-/ Thanks, Chris
