The module loads perfectly but no sound, turn the volumes up and there is still no sound. No some days we would mute the head phones, other days you had to play an audio CD while playing with the master Volume slider. After about five minutes of mucking about with it, you will suddenly get a blast from the speakers and the sound works there after and forever. I also had on one of the batches the amplifier issue, The amplifier was unmuted and when I muted it the sound worked. Tonight I will try recompile that module and see if it makes a difference on the next batch tommorow. cheers -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================
