I try to run the Soundblaster MP3 in the emachines computer with XP. I can also use the built-in RealTek sound card but normally have that dedicated for other audio from the front panel. The video is plain vanilla Intel 915G series.
In the Vista machine which is a fairly recent HP with AMD X2, it has on board RealTek and the Video is Nvidia. I have only had one Linux version (Mepis) that almost (but not quite) was able to run the video on this machine with some manual help with selecting the right drivers on boot up. But the characters have some streaking and is not acceptable for serious computer use. Endless hours of time trying to fix it with many different distros eventually lead me away from Linux for now. 73, Rick, KV9U jgorman01 wrote: > Rick, > > What sound card are you running? > > Jim > WA0LYK > >
