Those old boards perhaps often use AC'97? It's supported by ALSA. BIOS settings might need a check up, dunno. Google found hits regarding to issues with pulseaudio and the AC'97, but I suspect that pulseaudio isn't relevant for the Debian installer. If Karen should use a more professional sound card, it might be, that it can't work for the installer, if she can't launch the mixer, so for an install an onboard device might be the better choice. You never know, but I agree that it's likely that a hardware speech synth is less resource hungry, than a soft synth. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
