Now, the sound card. First, have you installed also? If not, select all the alsa related files and install them. You need some information gathering, to find out what the problem is. Open Mandrake Control Center, to the screen where you can see your soundcard. Click on the sound card entry and you will see the details about which driver it is using. If there is an alternative driver offered, try that first. If that does not work, there is troubleshooting help. I think it is on the Run Config Tool screen - a button called, surprising enough, Troubleshooting. This gives a number of tests to run from the command line. Run these in turn, copying and pasting the results to a text file. Post again, attaching the text file, so that the people who know most about sound can analyse the output. It would be wise to do this in a new thread, so that more people see it. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
