However, the GENERIC kernel doesn't have sound support compiled into it. Check your dmesg --- I'm betting you have a "no driver loaded" message near your "multimedia" entry, if such exists. This may be as easy as adding: device pcm to your kernel config and doing "make buildkernel" and "make installkernel" as root from /usr/src. As for CUPS, don't know much about it. I've had a bit of luck with aspsfilter (printing to a new HP 6100 all-in-one), but I stupidly overwrote /etc/printcap during my last mergemaster, and my automagic nightly backup backed it up before I realized I'd done it .... :-( HTH, Kevin Kinsey
