I've been struggling to get sound to work on a Dell system I got recently. I'm running Woody with a 2.4.17 kernel. I think my problem has to do with the sound being integrated. According to WinXP which is also on this box, the chip is an intel 82801BA/BAM AC'97. When recompiling the kernel, I don't see anything that looks like it would work for this. Does anyone know if I'm overlooking something?
I ran apt-get install sndconfig and tried that. It said it found device 8086:2445 and that is was unknown and not supported, but before giving up, I thought I'd see if this is reliable information. I'm running KDE on this computer. I've only ever installed X on one box before and on that I used gnome and esd for the sound server. Which sound server works best with KDE? If I run sound server from KDE menu it has arts listed as the sound server. Is this what I should be using? If anyone has any more info on this chip and can point me in the right direction with the other stuff, I would greatly appreciate it. -- Jason Stechschulte [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Even if you aren't in doubt, consider the mental welfare of the person who has to maintain the code after you, and who will probably put parens in the wrong place. -- Larry Wall in the perl man page
