Getting into this thread late, but the soundcard on the newer Dells isn't one supprted by either the OSS or the ALSA emu10k1 drivers. It's actually a slightly different chipset. There's a driver available (neither free nor Free) from www.opensound.com. A co-worker purchased that driver, but hasn't been very satisfied with the quality of sound from it. You might want to poke around a bit more, looking for comments on it, before spending the money. -- Nathan Poznick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "The name is *Jeffrey*, I happen to be *in* a helicopter." -Crow (as Helicopter Pilot). #517 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
