there is in some bios a second (and much more hidden) setting to enable the on board sound it might be under a different menu, and you might even have to scroll down to find it, (if my memory serves, and what a joke that would be) I have one setting under legacy devices and another in PCI control, or something along those lines. check every entry on your BIOS for a second sound setting... ________________________________________________________________________ > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
