189921 2003-11-07 04:46:00 I am trying to get Linux going properly.

I have a S3 SonicVibes soundcard, with some ancient speakers.

I can't hear any sound.

On one install of Mandrake 9.2, I had a sound icon down in the bottom right.

I don't now, but I never tested the sound then. I havn't heard any sound coming from linux yet.

I am just about to install windows 95 to test if my sound actually goes, but start suggesting things now.

Thanks

Check here (doc.mandrakelinux.com) for additional details.

It's an on-line manual :D
