Thanks to all who helped earlier. I've now found that I may be able to get sound using a kernel 2.5.11 or above (http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/linux/audio.htm), is there a specific version that anyone could recommend? Also I've only ever used kernel sources supplied with the distribution before, is there a deb package I need and a debian specific procedure or should I just RTFM and post again when I've buggered it up? Thanks Paul
