I am running 4.5-Stable of about 2/1 and I see: pcm0: <Intel 82801BA (ICH2)> port 0xdc40-0xdc7f,0xd800-0xd8ff irq 10 at device 31.5 on pci0 pcm0: measured ac97 link rate at 55934 Hz The ac97 line magically appeared on a build about February 1. I hope this fixes the problem, but I now have a different problem. The device is always busy! So I get no sound at all, either from realplay or from gnome (or from copying a file to /dev/dsp). lsof shows that the device belongs to esd. Unfortunately, I can't find any doc on esd (esound?) and I don't really have time to scrounge through the sources at the moment. Hopefully things are moving in the right direction, at least. And, it's possible that I'm doing something dumb that is causing the device to show up as busy. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
