Alex, I would like to thank you for your arrogant, obnoxious reply to my letter. It's people like you that keep Windows users using Windows. The reason I asked for a step by step howto for setting up sound is because I don't have a clue where to begin or what to look for. If I could have provided you with all the answers to your questions before you asked them, I wouldn't have needed your help, now, would I? When I used Red Hat I didn't need to ask how to set sound up. It worked from the get go. That isn't the case with Debian. So now I need a complete tutorial from a-z on how sound works in Linux so I can trouble shoot. It might be Debian. It might be the computer. This is a new computer. I'm not even sure it came with a sound card. But I don't know how to find out. Don't tell me to read the documentation that came with it. It's written in geek. "The mainboard has a built-in AC'97 4Ch Codec, provides an AMR slot..." Please don't ever respond to my posts, even if you have the answer. I have better things to do with my time than to sort through your rudeness. Glen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
