As far as i can tell the install of M 7.2 went pretty seamlessly
(luckey basted). The sound works fine in win which suggests not harware
probs but who knows. what exactly is dsp is it just a direct link to the
sound card. is there any other was oss drivers or what about esd how do
they communicate w/ the hardware. He is running windowmaker if that
changes anything.
Is there a way to reinstall all sound stuff or do i just tell hi to back
up /home and reinstall.
anyway
thanks all
