So then check the obvious stuff first. Are you sure the speakers are plugged in right, turned on :), volume up, etc. Check the output of mixer and let us know what that shows. Also how are you testing the sound? Do you get errors or just no sound? Try installing a console app like /usr/ports/audio/mpg123 and run it from the console and see if you get sound then. If you have kde (or gnome I think) installed they have their sound daemons that can block other programs out dependnig on how they are used. So running from the console wil eliminate that. I don't know why you don't get the midi , but that should not affect how the system see the rest of the sound devices. Tim
