On a gnome system it was done with: $ gnome-volume-control and then edit-preferences and check the "PC Speaker" It appeared then on the playback menu, where I had to unmute it. Of course on my fedora box with gnome there is no option for "pc speak" in gnome-volume-control, but it just works there, after enabling the kernel module.

I tried this and this time I get an error like this, SpotRead: Error - Configuring USB port 'usb:/bus0/dev18 (GretagMacbeth i1 Pro)' to 1 failed with -71 (Permission problem ?) I run the program as sudo. But anyway it's fast to replug the device. Lars Tore Gustavsen
