Run "lspci" and see what chipset your sound blaster uses. For example, my relevant line says: > 0000:00:07.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. > VT82C686 AC97 Audio Controller(rev 50) indicating that my sound chip is a VAI VT82C686. Then run "modconf" to install the appropriate driver. In my case, that driver is "via82cxxx_audio". If you can't find the driver via "modconf", you can try googling for the correct driver for your sound chip. As a general rule, once installed, the driver's settings are set to "mute". You may need to run some sort of mixer utility (alsamix, kmix, etc) to unmute the device. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
