Thank you all in advance. > > Scott AFIK the script (can not find it in my system no) will not remove modules not marked for autoclean-ing, so you can: 1. insmod them from /etc/rc.d/rc.local and do not add autoclean option (-k --autoclean) 2. check /etc/modules.conf to see exacyly what sound modules should be loaded 3. run kudzu/sndconfig 4. see where is this script (/etc/cron*) The problem can be related to arts/esd also, not to the modules - do you use gnome/kde, which aplication stops playing? -- Regards, Doncho N.
