[Hampshire] [OT] Anyone got a PCI sound card they don't need?
Hi all, I've recently had to change my Linux PC into a Windows PC (well dual boot) :(. However I cannot make my on board sound card work with Windows XP (spent 2 hrs installing, un-installing, trying different driver versions etc.). An nice win for Linux as it worked perfectly out of the box with Fedora :D, nothing special required at all. However it leaves me stuck without sound when I'm running Windows, which sucks. Does anyone have a spare sound card (PCI) they don't need any more, preferably one that works in Linux and Windows, although something that only works in windows would be fine because I can still use the on-board one for Linux by just swapping the plugs around. I'm based in Basingstoke so can get to most places easily enough, Thank you. Stephen. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

Hi, I think I gave my last one away unfortunately. Can you tell us what Linux thinks the sound card is and post an lspci -v please? What is the mobo model? We may be able to make this into a how to introduce Linux to your friend by showing them how to use it to fix a Windows problem type thing :) Cheers, Paul.

Which makes sense to me but irritates many people.
