I saw the post from Alexandre, but it was just a bunch of numbers and letters...what do I need to do to be able to read it? I read Jorge Cerdio's reply. [root@localhost root]# rpm -qa alsa [root@localhost root]# I dont know if this helps at all? [root@localhost root]# urpmq alsa The following packages contain alsa: alsa2-utils alsa24-smp alsa24-up libalsa2 Chad
