Hi Barry et al, After setting screen_01 = shell I am able to see the following: i810_audio: Resetting connection 0 ac97__codec: AC97 Audio Codec, id: ADS64 (Analog Devices AD1881) i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 unable to map surround DAC's (or DAC's not present), total channels = 2 ALSA lib confmisc.c:672:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c3493:(snd_config_evalutate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: no such device ALSA lib conf.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: no such device etc,etc,etc: I did dmesg > dmesg.txt and collected only a partial transcription of the above. I have no idea where the rest of these messages are going. Boy would it be nice to have a place where this stuff was logged. Is there and option under ltsp.conf (not lts.conf) to set logging?) It goes on from there, but I had to transcribe it by hand since I can't find it with locate dmesg.txt once I boot into a GUI session. I am using a Compaq Ipaq with an I810 chipset and and Ntavo 6020 p with a Realtek chipset. My understanding is that the the i810 chipset is PCI based. It is on board. I believe the NTAVO chipset is PCI based as well. Thanks for your questions!

When the client boots up. Do you see were soundcard "X" has been detected correctly/ shortly after usb lines...? Do you have PCI soundcards/onboard sound on these clinets? If so what make/brand? If they are not detected at bootup and intialized you'll never get sound,regardless of ,,what configs are changed.
