Hey, guys, how about changing the subject line if you're going to

Heh-heh, no, probably not. Can you play a CD? I always use
that as my acid test for working sound, and so far no luck.
I *can* get a console beep (whoopee). Xmms worked with some
driver hack I had back in the YDL 1.2 days, so I'm guessing it
will work now, although I haven't tried it yet. But there
are other things, like some test .wav files in the GNOME help
center that don't play, and supposedly KDE is supposed to
make some happy sounds when it starts up and I've never
heard those. So sound does "work" for me in some really
loose sense of the word, but I was wondering if you had
something better.

Cheers,
Andy
