-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Since u have installed Linux, I'll assume u can log in as root, and run sndconfig. Linux seems to have a problem detecting isa sound cards. If u r using the desktop environments, search for a link to Xterm or command line or something similar in the shortcut bar at the bottom left, click it, type in su. Ur root password will be requested, enter it, and then type in sndconfig. Best of luck.
