Hi Tim - I stand corrected - I should not have been flippant with Mumbo jumbo and by no way meant offense to all the fantastic Linux users. I am envious of their learning prowess. i am sure there are others like me who are venturing over to Linux and have a hard time even spelling it, let alone doing terminal work (probably 1% of the Linux population). Thankfully you are all kind enough to put up with us and try and help us. My Linux learning is on the backside of the bell curve, hey someone has to occupy those far end end points. somewhere around 5 standard deviations away. The HardDrak doesn't list any sound devices, so I am soundless. i dowloaded the Aureal file, (tar.gz), Todd was kind enough to send me the url, but don't know what to do with it, or how to install it. I have a Crystal Semiconductor for the sound card and Altec lansing speakers. Again my apologies to the Linux community. > As a suggestion though. Stop looking at the console as "Linux terminal > command Mumbo Jumbo."
