Thanks William

It is indeed weird. I think I'll just reinstall the sound related bits 
from the guide and see how I get on. I found out how she rebooted, used 
the "big red button". On the IBM server I have as the Myth box that 
means holding the power button in for at least 10 seconds. I suspect 
something didn't like that.

Oliver, I thought the same thing and I tried rebooting again...and 
again... but no joy.

Cheers
Bruce
