I think you might have misinterpreted Alex's comments. I think he was trying to give you a good-natured ribbing more than anything else. Usually when people pepper their email with smilies, they're not trying to be rude. :) > "The mainboard has a built-in AC'97 4Ch Codec, provides an AMR > slot..." Ah... now THIS is meaningful. I had a bear of a time getting this identical piece of dung working on my otherwise "cherry" computer. This next bit assumes that you're running sid. I don't know how it is on potato. You'll need to download the 'alsa-drivers' packages that matches your kernel-package version (e.g., I had to install 'alsa-drivers-2.4.18-k7'). You'll also want to install the 'alsaconf' package (although at last check, it was somewhat broken on sid, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it). You'll want to select the "VIA 82xxx" chipset stuff as the driver. Hopefully, this will make things work. If not, send another message.
