hmmm...lets see if I can remember that far back. I haven't seen 8.0 for a few years, so if I get this wrong, please someone correct me. at any rate Spyros, you can do this one of two ways. (1) open a terinal window and use the "setuptools" utility. when you activate this utility it will either initialize the X gui or will run in the terminal itself. on the menu you're presented with there will be a menu item that will allow you to configure your sound card. it's a small wizard that is simple and straight forward. (2) open Mandrake Control Center, and go to the "Hardware" item shown on the left of the main panel, click on Hardware, then expand the sound card item in the list; you will see a sound card in the right pane as long as Mandrake picked up the card upon installation. you should also see the card listed as a sub-item in the left pane. click on the sound card in the left pane and hit the configure button in the right pane. a list of drivers will be presented to you with it defaulting to what yours should be. hit the "OK" button and listen for the audio clip to be played. if you here it click the yes button and you're done. if you didn't hear it and you're sure that you chose the correct driver for your card turn up the volume on your speakers and repeat the last procedure. IF you still don't hear the audio clip then it's likely you have a bit more configuring to do to get your sound working. Mark
