Done, I downloaded and installed drakxtools-newt. My problem now is: where are the tools the package gives? I know there are thousands of applications in Mandrake, but I do not know how to access them. I'd appreciate if you would help me in this regard.

Thanks a lot. Little problem is, I haven't got the slightest idea where to find draksound. Also, I do not compute mcc. However I will keep searching. I didn't find anything for sound in the Mandrake Control Centre. Cordially Teilhard. - This mail sent through CWMail: http://www.crosswinds.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Alsa is running. The driver the system picked up is: snd-emu10k1. It also says: "alternative drivers: audigy:emu10k1". How can I check what's the right driver for me? Thanks for the feedback.

Actually I played a bit with that. However, I got a Home Theatre, and one of the lights of the amplifier blinks whenever the sound card is not active. In that way I know that it is not just a matter of not enough volume and such. Thanks for the feedback.

[newbie] Sound
Hello: I have three desktops and one laptop where I have installed different versions of Mandrake. Just yesterday installed, in the largest computer, version 10.0 Official. In my previous experience, I always got sound just on first boot, but not this time. I haven't got the slightest idea of what to do to fix this problem. My sound card is a Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1. Your help will be appreciated.
