I've not tested for that chip yet...(that machine is not here - I'll try it tomorrow
and report to the list) but I've tried sndconfig on another machine but this time with
a built in sound chip. One of those PCChips boards.
The chip is a SoundPro chip...with PCI embossed on the chip (although, whether it
really is PCI I have not been able to determine)
For more info on the chip go to this web page:
http://www.pcchips.com.tw/Sound.html
Anyone else with this same sound chip? Have you gotten it to work? I'd really like to
hear from you.

I won't laugh, it's happened to me too :-)
Well...I don't get any thing...no error messages in sys logs...and no sound either. It
just says (in sndconfig) "Error opening /dev/audio".
This device has got me stumped.
