Hi Gulik, Many thanks for prompt reply. Everything worked fine. I have attached details of my commands in the Terminal. As you will see the ALSA gave problems but the OSS worked perfectly. I am not sure how I install this plugin so that it is there when I open from my desktop icon. (Yes I am new to Ubuntu as well!!).
The ALSA error you found looks like an authentic bug. I don't see those XIO errors on my machine; I wonder what they are.
If you right-click on the desktop icon for Squeak, you should be able to find somewhere that you can type in the command; you should in theory be able to append "-vm-sound-OSS" to that. I can't really help you much more here; I use IceWM and run Squeak from an xterm because it's heaps faster.
You shouldn't need to use sudo to run Squeak.
Cheers, Gulik.
