I notice that when I modprobe snd, however, all the problems seem to go away: /dev/mixer and /dev/snd/ are created, etc. I don't know why it didn't do this for me... As for mplayer, thanks for the tip. It's very useful. Yours, Zack. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Myrow" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
