Do you know your sound card model? FWIK, you have two way to use your sc: support with the kernel or support via ALSA. If your card is a common sound card, probably you will find a kernel driver that support it, otherwise try with ALSA (www.alsa-project.org). Don't remember the steps to configure the card with the kernel (usually you need only to add a line in /etc/modutils if you use a kernel module), with alsa there is a text base utility to help you to configure the card. Look in your nearest debian archive (your CD sets or a web archive) for the proper packages. Andrea
