Walter, |

Thank you for your tip. This is the sort of thinking that will |
| 9 |
ultimately lead to a solution. |

I installed audio a couple years ago when setting up Gentoo on this |
| 12 |
machine for the first. time. I followed the handbook. Since that day |
| 13 |
I never again looked at my sound card setup. I do not know what is a |
| 14 |
"sound server" and I certainly never installed one (unless part of the |
| 15 |
install handbook has me install one). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Assuming for a moment that I did install a "sound server" and that I |
| 18 |
want to disable it in order to perform your test, 1) How do I |
| 19 |
determine which sound servers, if any, are installed? 2) How do I |
| 20 |
disable them? |
