 Hi all,
 Sound doesn't seem to working or recognized by the installation of 8.2

I get the best results with ALSA, but I don't know if the version in the
kernel you use is recent enough. You should probably upgrade to 9.1 ...
just do:
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
modprobe snd-card-awacs
modprobe snd-powermac

Only one of the last two modules is present, depends on the alsa driver
version.

ALSA comes up with volume muted by default, you can get sound working by
launching alsamixer in a terminal. Unmute master, and turn up the volume
on master and (1st?) headphone. I use gnome-alsamixer but I doubt you
have it on your 8.2 CDs (would be in contrib).

OK, thanks, I'll try this out and see what happens. I don't really want
to upgrade to 9.1 though, it took me long enough to get the 8.2 CDs from
MandrakeSoft in the first place.
