I haven't yet come across a system where /root was owned by some user other than root. Try this: chown root.root /root and try starting alsa again. Greg You were correct. I'm not sure why root got marked gary:gary but that stopped Alsa from being restarted. I still don't have sound so I'll be back as soon a I can find something concrete wrong. Thanks Gary R |
