Hi Matthew, Thanks for the reply. I ran the MAKEDEV cmd and verified that I have the required output, but I still can't get any sound to work as non-root user. I just realised as well that I am also unable to even highlight test and paste with my mouse (microsoft two button ps2 mouse). Should I be taking a look at this as well in X85Config file?
