Unfortunately that was not the cause this time. :( I did see separate "line in" and "line out" symbols on other plugs. The plug I was trying had a graphics of a microphone on it, and SPDIF written next to it also. (In any case, I did try putting earphone into each plug, and none of it stopped the speaker) I really appreciate the rapid response so far; the user community of FreeBSD is truly awesome! _________________________________________________________________ Your Hotmail address already works to sign into Windows Live Messenger!
