Getting into this thread late, but the soundcard on the newer Dells
isn't one supprted by either the OSS or the ALSA emu10k1 drivers. It's
actually a slightly different chipset. There's a driver available
(neither free nor Free) from www.opensound.com. A co-worker purchased
that driver, but hasn't been very satisfied with the quality of sound
from it. You might want to poke around a bit more, looking for comments
on it, before spending the money.
