I finally got a good install of mandrake (yay!!!). However, my problems have only begun. Aside from a bunch of small things I'll hopefully figure out later, my biggest current problem is the lack of sound. I have installed Linux on a Thinkpad i1400 with an ESS Solo-1 Audiodrive card. If I go to the mandrake control center and click on hardware then soundcards, I see that Mandrake identifies my soundcard as a ES1969 Solo-1 Audiodrive. This is correct. Then, when I go to the kde control center, I see under Information>sound, that that the sound driver being used is 3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.5.10b emulation code). Further down, it says Installed drivers: type 10: ALSA emulation. Then, it says Card config: ---no soundcards--- followed by this stuff Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG If I run sndconfig, It detecs my sound card correctly as a ES1969, but then informs me that there is no support for it. What can I do? Any help is very much appreciated. Note: I tried downloaded the latest alsa drivers (0.5.11 and followed the directions, but I got compile errors when I typed in "make") _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
