It's a Crystal Audio 3-D sound. I don't know the number on the chip off the top of my head. Will have to lift the hood.

John From: Ripcrd6 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Did you have any trouble setting up the on-board sound or ethernet. I have heard of those built-in devices not being recognized. I have a Socket 7 (Alton M570) mobo w/ built-in 3-d sound and I wonder how it will be. Have seen comments in Mandrake newsgroup about the sound quality being poor or not recognized. Would appreciate any comments. I will be installing soon. Brian

Well, Kind of off topic here (but not really) but does anyone have any old dual Pent Pro motherboards they would like to get rid of? .bill On Thu, 12 Aug 1999, Ripcrd6 wrote: It's a Crystal Audio 3-D sound.

I've heard of people having some REAL headaches trying to get Crystal sound to work. IIRC, OSS will have to be installed, as Linux doesn't support Crystal sound with the default drivers. Personally, I'd see if you can disable the on-board sound and just get a good Sound Blaster card (awe series is SUPPOSED to work fairly well... at least there's support built-into linux for Creative Labs' SB series of cards!)

Re: [newbie] Recommendation needed for Dual PentiumII/III board withMandrake
I actually just got the sound working under windows. I had the AT form card plugged in backwards on the mobo. Turned it around and the music came blasting out. Wooohooo. I digress. I think that if I unplug the form card again that it will be disabled, but there is no specific jumper to do so. I think PnP will be where I will run into problems detecting the secondary card.

The answer is, not without special drivers from OSS. Crystal Audio is a PAIN to work with. We've got an old HP here that has Crystal Sound on-board and it kept giving us GPFs all the time trying to use it
Re: [newbie] Recommendation needed for Dual PentiumII/III board withMandrake
I just built a (s1836dluan-bx)Tyan Thunder 100 motherboard running 2 500mhz PentiunIII cpu's. That board has built in audio(Creative Labs Vibra16xv), onboard dual channel Ultra Wide SCSI, and a 10/100 Ehernet(Intel) built in. After 2 months it is still running strong and I have had none,zero,zip,nada problems out of it. Of course I am also running Linux-Mandrake as my o/s, that explains alot of the problem free part. :) On Wed, 11 Aug 1999, Lionel Siau wrote: Hi everyone, I need a quote/recommendation for the above which should be rock solid and very problem free with Linux(running Mandrake of course).
