Thank you to all who replied back to my email in regards to soundcards. I will try all suggestions and get back to all of you. I agree that configuring soundcards is a way to get "your hands dirty" with the new system OS. I don't want another M$ OS and do enjoy command line operations. If configuring a sound card is a simple task, then that just reflects my newbie desire to learn more. Thanks again. Regards, Jon
