I read somewhere that all kernels from 2.2.7 on, have sound support built-in. I have a ES1869 soundcard on my laptop and kernel 2.2.10 but still I don't have any sound. Although I tried several time to load the sound module with modconf, it still doesn't work. though I have read the HOWTO on sound, but I don't feel like recompiling my kernel. Where do I go from here ? --Camiel Coenen Camiel Coenen <c.coenen@wlv.ac.uk>
