Hello, I have Mandrake Linux 9.0 installed on my computer. The sound doesn't work but it does on the windows side of the partition. I have an AMD Mainboard that uses SiS 740 chipset. It also has a built in AC97 Codec. I am not sure what other information you might need out of the book. I am very new to Mandrake Linux. There is so much I don't understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brenda
Try exiting X-window and running sndconfig (as root).

Hi, I logged in as root and tried the sndconfig, but it says no PNP or PCI sound cards were found. It said to select my card type but I didn't know which one to pick. I did try the Intel i810 AC97 Audio but no luck. I also looked at Mandrake Control Center but the hardware list only had a floppy, disk, CDRom, and mouse. Thanks again. Brenda
I'm betting that your sound card is of the onboard variety. This being the case you be need to try another card. Disable the onboard card in the BIOS and stick another sound card in. Mdk9.0 likes the Ensoniq chipset fairly well. At least a bit better then it likes the Intel i810 chipset.
