Hi all, First of all, a big thank you to those who responded to my post (SB Audigy and modem, sent yesterday). I have managed to get the SB Audigy working (mostly). I brought up the Volume Control window by right clicking on the speaker volume icon on the bottom-right, and then selecting the "Volume control" option on the pop-up menu. Once this window was up, I just unchecked all "Locked", raised the volume for every last dial I could, and it worked (too well, I actually had to reduce the volume in some cases, slightly for PCM was enough). I can now get sound for WAV, etc (I used xmms to test). The only thing that doesn't work is CD playing. I still can't get CD output from the speakers (even though I have put both CD and Audigy CD dials to full volume), although I can get CD output through headphones and change volume through headphone volume control on my CD-RW and DVD-ROM drives (Which I believe was suggested). When I had RH Linux 9 installed, I was able to get CD music output to the speakers, no problems in getting sound. (I think I was using OSS with RH 9 which had no ALSA, I could reinstall OSS on FC 2 but I won't). I know that all cables are correctly attached on my machine. But this is tolerable, at least I get sound (mostly). Can just use headphones if I need to listen to CD music. This means that I can now concentrate on getting my ADSL USB modem working in Linux. As I am using the kernel-2.6.7.x kernel, all I need is to get PPPoA working in Linux. Thanks, Rahul ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!
