I just bought a new machine (at work) and it came with both video and sound on the motherboard. I tried (briefly) to get XFree to work with the on-board video controller, but to no avail (other than at standard VGA resolutions). I used instead the video card from my 'old' machine. I did not have a sound card in the 'old' machine and I was interested in getting sound working.
The motherboard is made by Amptron and is a PM-9100. The description of the sound is "SB 16/PRO compatible with DirectSound 3D support", "HRTF 3D Positional Audio Technology with full duplex stereo", "Supports 44.1K digital audio-in (SPDIF)" and "Windows NT/98/95/3.1 and MS-DOS supported by drivers" This last statement makes me doubt that I will get it to work, however I though I would ask the list. I compiled in sound (SB16 with appropriate addresses), but - so far - to no avail. Does anyone have any experience with such a motherboard? Thanks for any assistance, Paul Rightley
