I have a compaq 5220 . The only thing I really know about the sound is that it says it has "Yamaha XG 128 Voice Wavetable Sound". There is no sound card recognized in harddrake and I don't get sound on the web or when I play mpegs, but I can play cd's with the cd player (although the volume control doesn't worK). I have also tried to configure a sound card with sndconfig unsuccessfully--it doesn't find one. If I have onboard sound would the system find a card? How can I get my onboard sound to work with mpegs and stuff on the web and not just cd's?
