What I haven't thought of is the modem. I have no onboard sound connectors, but I got a voice capable modem that has nothing, not even a phone line, hooked up to it. When I got my new machine and gave up 98, it could be working fine and I'd come home after school to have to power-cycle it because it just always suddenly quit responding to anything whenever it felt like it. I hope it isn't just freezing while trying to boot the CD as I know it's not the disk's problem because it works on this machine with the Turtle Beach card, as a live CD. I wish I knew what the error is or if the volume isn't just all the way muted by default? I could probably find a text-based talking disk to reformat the drive free of the old stuff that was still there, but I doubt the CD cares what is on any hard drive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lorenzo Taylor" <lorenzo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 9:54 PM Subject: Re: about the latest ubuntu > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Sound Blaster Live Value is in fact supported on the live CD.
