Actually, it's both. Your laptop probably has a better sound chip, so
that's used instead of the sound part of the NM2200. My laptop,
however, only has the NM2200 (aka NeoMagic 256AV).
The main problem with the NM2200 is that it doesn't have a hardware
wave device, so you have to use software emulation. Off the top of my
head, I can't remember the config I had to use, but you do need a
recent 2.2.x (or 2.3.x) kernel for it to work properly. I think
2.2.13+. But I've not had a problem with reboots or anything (CivCTP
works perfectly, for example).
