The first time no changes were made to modprobe.conf but after I deleted the snd entry and repeated kudzu then it was re-created (correctly this time). The configuration is now happily still there after a reboot. Many thanks. One outstanding issue is that there's no output from the CD player. System sounds and xmms are fine but not output from the CD player - still looking around for a solution though... Thanks again. Nick.
