First, make sure you have the proper stuff in /etc/modules.conf: # ALSA native device support alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 # this depends on your sound card # ALSA OSS/Free emulation support alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss Then, the correct modules are usually loaded by /etc/init.d/alsasound. So: /sbin/service alsasound start At least that's what does it on my RH system. -- Charles R.
