Oh, I was hoping I could bypass the need for sighted help. That is because if it doesn't just jump out with an error, things will get hard to figure out. I don't know how to disable the wave device on the modem, and the USB is all 1.1 or 1.0, so I doubt my USB headset will do much as it's a 2.0 device. If there is a chip for sound on the motherboard with no connectors hooked to it, I hope the Bios disabled it beyond Linux's reach as 98 never detected it, even after a reformat. It only found the wave device on the modem and the SB Live. If I bought a speaker phone, I wonder if the modem would power it and put speech through it? I have no phone line hooked to the computer because I have no dialup accounts to use it with anyways. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zachary Kline" <Z_kline@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 11:51 PM Subject: Re: about the latest ubuntu > Howdy, > Fortunately or unfortunately, this is the time to call for sighted > assistance, I believe.
