Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] > I own and use a Latitude ls. Great little machine. I could never get sound to work except for using the commercial OSS drivers.

Since the sound card shares resources with the video card at some level, I experienced random lockups even using the OSS drivers. Most of the time, sound was fine though.
