How can I do this? (I'm on ubuntu 5.10) And another thing, how can I see what hardware has my computer? (Something like Winxp)

Code:

killall esd

or (harder)

Code:

killall -9 esd

In the command line:

Code:

lscpi

or look at the menu to find something like the "hardware configuration" or similar (don't remember how it was called in GNOME)

inferno@linux:~$ killall esd
esd: no process killed

I have installed the nforce drivers (Soundstorm), so i thought that i had esd. How can i restart the oss?

You cannot restart OSS

This is a kernel module, not a sound daemon.
You can check what is using your sound card:

lsof /dev/dsp
lsof /dev/mixer

(or similar device that looks like soundcard -- it's different in many distros)

and then kill that program.

Thanks man, I had a program (Teamspeak) that was using /dev/dsp, and whenever i was pressing the key to speak i was only able to hear a loud noise. Everything else was working, except that program. Thanks again
