I've just installed Mandrake 8.0 on my Dell Inspiron 3500 Laptop,
but have not had any success with sound. Is the NeoMagic 256AV (MagicWave
3DX) sound card supported? I was led to believe that it was....
especiallly since numerous sources online indicated that the 2.4.x kernel
supported it. HardDrake recognized the card, but it will not
run...startup indicates some errors, but the're reported on the screen too
quickly for me to see.
Is there a module in Mandrake 8.0 somewhere (I heard that a module nm256
exists). How does one install this. Failing that, can someone recommend
the most painfree work around (ALSA, OSSFree, etc)???
thanks,
