Mike:
Thank you for the response. I'm not dual booting with Windows. I tried
running "sndconfig" which gives the message "No PnP devices found."
Then it gives me the option of choosing from a list of sound cards,
which puts me back at square one :-((. Any other ideas welcomed.
Cheers, rob
P.S. I could, I suppose, install Windows (I have NT 4.0) for the
express purpose of seeing what sound card I have...ouch ;-))!
