Hi Again,
You guys are going to get sick of me ;-).
I installed Redhat 8.0 and Mandrake9.0 and have come up with the following questions.
1. The sound on Mandrake 9.0 is basically crap compared to Redhat. Redhat sounds the same as in windows (just as a comparison). I have a Videologic Sonicfury (Turtle Beach Santa Cruz) running with ALSA 0.9RC2. There is no bass sound (I have TDK S-60 speakers) and the sound volume is not loud enough. How do I get the bass to come through? I read somewhere about alsamixer, but that isn't installed. Why? But on a happier note, the sound lag I used to get has all gone. Congrats on that.
2. Dictionary and Help for OpenOffice.org. Where are they? The default install does not have these. This is not limited to Mandrake, Redhat 8.0 has the same problem. Why did they (Mandrake/Redhat) remove the dictionary and help?
If you can help it will be greatly appreciated. PS Following my earlier e-mail. I'm getting the powerpack. Other than these two little issues, Mandrake is awesome. Congratulations on a great distro.
Craig
