Ken McAllister says: Halleluja! I was going to plead for help on Monday. Now I don't have to. Linux found my sound card.http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT8018846552.html is a great article ... might be especially helpful for newbs.
"Use the BIOS setup to disable the on-board sound chip," advised the article, "and let Linux detect the PCI card." I did, and it worked.
In ninety seconds I was playing music, after months of frustration, installing every new Linux and reading every HOWTO. Once only did I get ten seconds of clear sound under one of the Red Hats.
Windows annoyed me by plugging and playing every time, of course.
Thank you, Jason, and thank you to all contributors to a valuable and always-interesting LUG.
