Any help would be very appreciated. > > Thanks, > Scott I had a similar problem with 8.1 (although it turned out not to be version specific) on a 64 bit Gateway desktop computer. It was a bit of a pain to determine what the correct device .ko that had to be loaded to make the sound work. I use kde4, but the player utilities, when I loaded any audio file (including desktop sound-effects) all said they were running but the speakers remained mute. mixer output was exactly as your's shown above. I finally kldload(ed) snd_* and went through the list of the loaded modules until I eliminated useless loaded modules and found the one that actually let the sound files play. It was a pain in the butt, but it worked. What does kldstat say for your .ko loaded sound files? Tim Kellers
