Thanks, I ended up implementing all of your advice. I first installed sndconfig, which detected my card type and told me it was still unsupported. Then, I searched Google for "linux intel 82801eb" which is what appeared in sndconfig, and reached an intel page about it: http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/linux/ There I found up-to-date drivers. I compiled and installed them, and now the sound works perfectly. Thanks again. I'm happy now. :-) Regards, Shlomi Fish > Good Luck, > > Amichai. > > On Friday 19 September 2003 08:21, Shlomi Fish wrote: > > Hi all! > > > > I recently had to upgrade my computer.
