Well, I know this probabley doesn't help, but the sound card that comes with tecra 8100 is the yamahah dsxg. I checked out the list of supported cards for alsa, and a couple of yamahah cards are listed there, but no dsxg models I'm afraid. I figured I'd be stuck with windows on this laptop here for that reason. Ah well, I'm not ready to convert the laptop to linux anyway. Smile. Would be interested in a howto, though, if you get the drivers that come on your toshiba restore CD to fly under linux. Cheers, Erik "I'm not a monster; I'm a friend who raves and drules."
