No PCMCIA sound card will let you output to the internal speakers - they're hard wired to the internal audio device. This applies to every OS. > But the > headphone output of the SB is great.

If your distro does not provide up to date ALSA packages and you don't want to risk breaking things you can try a live CD distro like the latest Knoppix...
