Laptops :: How I got laptop sound working in DSL

hawki Thanks... saved me alot of time and frustration for this newer linux supporter!!!!! modprobe worked great for my Compaq Armada 1500, only I hade to change dma=0 to dma=1.... Thanks again for taking the time to post your fix....:D

Thanks aramis and forty_caliber!
I was able to get sound working on my Toshiba Terca 740CDT.
I had to tweak some BIOS settings and re-run sndconfig.

however, to access the CD drive I have to use sudo xmms, the dsl desktop icon for xmms doesn't work.

any idea on how to get around that problem. I would appreciate any suggesstions. Thanks!
