Stephen, I do have a card stuck in a slot. I disabled the onboard sound. As a result I got a sound icon in the panel which wasn't there before, so I guess there is some sort of recognition (but still no sound). I tried to configure the sound system in: System -> configuration -> KDE -> sound -> sound system On the first tab I accepted the defaults. On the second I selected autodetect and checked "Full duplex". When I hit the apply button I get the error: "Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory) The sound server will continue, using the null output device." I really could use any good ideas. Thanks!
