At the risk of repeating the obvious, the only way I know of doing that would be to scrub and re-install the whole Kubuntu system. I went to Kubuntu for the reason of it seeming to be a little more integrated than Fedora (and Fedora's increasing bad habit of choking down the whole system if one program had issues- like Win95.). For what it's worth, the sound did not work right off with Fedora either. A visitor from out of town did something to make it work, though the hardware detectors (HAL, etc.,) could not detect the sound card even then. The point of the matter is that I do not know how to get the drivers for this (apparently) cobbled-up laptop to make with their intended hardware (assuming that is the problem). If it turns out to be some other problem, I don't know how to fix that either. What do I do to make this sound card operate, and to get really optimistic, how do I install the odd codecs & plugins in such a way to be sure, once they are "installed," that they actually operate?
