I know the soundcard is on board but i can't figure out what it is because it's not detecting it anywhere maybe its broke, it is an old pc and hasn't been used in forever. Although it does have internal sound (pc beeping). Also is it possible to get internet through it when it doesn't have ethernet ports and only has dialup ports. I have high speed and it would be nice to get online wired or wirelesly but with the hardware i don't think it's possible (modem probably to slow to) so would it work if you installed new modem and stuff if at all possible.
1) to know which one it is, you could open it up and look at the chips ;)
   Or, if it was a readymade one, google on it's model number.
   If all else fails, pc speaker can be used as a real speaker (I did that on Windows 3.1.. Brings back memories)

2) You can. You can get internet through any port. Modem, serial, parallel, infrared...
If you have a choice between these, buy a paraller port "laplink" cable, it's the fastest. But for all of these you need another linux box, as Window$ internet connection sharing only shares to ethernet..

You can use the menu to go to system - stats (or from a terminal, type stats.lua). There's a tab that will show you hardware detected.

He said the soundcard wasn't detected.. Though it's good to check
Thanx guy's well i've given up on the sound i tried lucky's idea and got no succes it's just not picking up. How would i go about making it use the internal speakers? Also would it be possible to install a wireless card so i can pick up my wireless internet?
