Re: [SLE] PCMCIA Networking & CD Rom Burner

Rick, what sound card are you using?

I have two laptops, a dell inspiton where I am
writting this email just now (running W2K, RD and in
the past SuSE) and an HP Pavilion in which I am
installing SuSE 7.1 while writing this email.

I can tell you initially my sound didnt work in the
dell (sound card ESS) and Im sure it will not work on
the HP once done (another ESS) and I will be looking
on my very old docs cause I have somewhere the needed
info to make it work.

Let me know about your laptop and sound card, so I can
provide you with the info I have.  If it will help you
I will work it out (need to go somewhere to scan it
and all that), if it will not then I will not loose
time doing all that for nothing.

Rik.
