I got the driver from VIA, I can't figure out what it is. I am going to spend some time learning the OS before I go any further. I can't keep coming to the group without a fundamental understanding of the OS. In the past I have tried to get everything working at once and that has been disastrous.

The driver is dated 2/13/03 so maybe they fixed the driver.....

I feel I am taking on too much, for a newbie. I want to work on getting the proper drivers installed for the sound card. Setup: initializing Knoppix gets this error message; initializing sound driver device/dev/dsp can't be opened (no such device.) Run: lspci under Xterm (is this the terminal of choice?) produces; VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 10) Ref: the motherboard CD finds Linux drivers for sound; RH 7.1, other distro's I'm not running, and some generics; 2216 and 240. Problem: where to go from here (its usually better to get the latest driver and I could probably run the same driver under knoppix or RH (yes /no ?) Google: VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller Ref: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54905 Sample response: bought a new SiEMENS-PC with onboard VIA VT8233 AC97. get no sound in Linux RH 8. Win-Xp works properly. all other, like MDK, DEB or SUSI work proper too. RH 8 can4t find a /dev/dsp or /dev/dsp0. watched VIA Site. there is no driver for RH8 available (just RH7.3). somebody told me to use OSS drivers, but won4t work. ALSA doesn4t work with this kernel. Conclusion: looks like this is a common problem. Any suggestions (other then get a pci sound card?) If this isn't a reasonably easy fix I can wait -- there'll probably be a driver in a year or two.
