Hi Rafael, Sure this is for newbies. But you have to be a little more precise. Both video and sound cards are tricky. Can you specify your Slackware distribution but "recent" (8.1 etc.) ? Can you probe your card for the real sound card ? (Try lspci). If I can help, I will come back to you. ________________________________________________________________ At 15:11 2002-11-24 -0500, you wrote: >Hello folks, > Since I am writing to this newsgroup you >all can tell I am a newbie.
