Re: Sound Issues
Hi there. I'm short of time right now (have to get to the Farmer's Market early :)) - but later today, I can sit down and work through this again - I'll be on ICQ again and we can go at it from there.

Re: Sound Issues
Dippy, Have you tried experimenting with the alsa sound drivers that are on my web page? I can't build those into the distro due to conflicts with the other architectures, but I'm going to try maintaining them personally, as the kernels progress. Some of the newer machines have sound hardware that is not compatible with dmasound or dmasound_awacs, so the alsa drivers are an alternative. I know some other PPC distro's are now using dmasound_pmac, but I haven't had an opportunity to look at how I might patch this into the Mandrake kernel.
