Yes, I get sound, but then I was getting sound before installing Helix Gnome
anyway (if I remember correctly). However, my sound card does not show up in
HardDrake, I had to use sndconfig to get it working.
Is it only Gnome that doesn't give you sound? In other words, do you get
sound in KDE? Although I do get sound, if I use any of the Gnome desktop
sound effects, they tend to stutter quite a bit. Instead of getting one bell
ring, I'll get about 5 or 6. I suspect the problem lies with ESD not liking
my OPL3-SA card.
Btw, this stuttering problem has plagued me in every Linux distro that I've
ever run, including Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSE, and Caldera.
