Hell All! Well, I've installed the 8.0 on my laptop over a week ago, and I've been playing around with it. Its awesome! I love the eye-candy on startup. Everything works together so seamlessly. My problem is with the sound card. The installer correctly recognizes the sound card as a "NeoMagic MagicMedia256AV Audio". However, I am not getting any sound out of it. All of the docs I can find either reference the /user/sbin/sound-config or /user/sbin/lothar-soundconfig, I assume on this version I should be using harddrake. Harddrake recognizes the soundcard but then tells me when I run the configuration tool that 'modprobe: can't locate module sound-slot 0'. Help! Where should I begin troubleshooting? I looked in linux-laptops, but according to the page this sound card should be supported and work out of the box. thanks a bunch. you guys are great! --Pete /********************* "He felt his body divide in half, one part hot, one part cold, one part hard, one part soft, one part trembling, and one part not trembling, each half grinding against the other." -Ray Bradbury _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/
