I am going to say thanks for that now, rather than after I try it - mainly because I can't see my self getting round to it for a while! After all sound is not that important on a server, but seeing that it worked under knoppix my interest was piqued... It also has this groovy built in speaker, so I can get it to talk without hanging bulky speakers off it. BTW if anyone is interested it is a compaq ap500 workstation - yes yesteryear's graphical workstations with dual pentiums 450's are today's home servers - even if it does weigh more than the average commuter vehicle. > > As for the ES1869.... > I have a card witch shows in windows 98 as ES1887 but runs on the module > ES688 (or similar, dont have the source...).
