Hei I didn't read all of your email but will recommend the following link anyway. http://www.linuxorbit.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=541&page=1 Just in case I pasted the link incorrectly go to www.linuxorbit.com, click on HOWTOs, go to the bottom of the page and you should find a link to an article named: "Installing and Configuring ALSA Sound Modules in Debian GNU/Linux HOWTO Version 1.1". HTH. t-ir
