(YASQ) - Yet another sound question
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.

has to maintain the code after you, and who will probably put parens in
the wrong place. -- Larry Wall in the perl man page
