I've installed ALSA for RH 8.0 on my Dell Laptop - the regular drivers were fairly dysfunctional with that finicky sound chip. I believe I just grabbed the packages from freshrpms.net, which also had a nice tutorial as well - it was pretty easy. -Jeff W. Wayne Liauh wrote: Has anyone

With all due respect to a Linux guru who knows much more than I, the problem is probably due to DMA being turned off by default. On my first RH 8.0 machine, I was frustrated with the very same problem for several hours until I found instructions for turning on DVD DMA on freshrpms.net at
