I have just installed DSL on my USB. Most everything works find, except I have no sound. Does DSL support sound?
the chipset I have is:
Realtec AC97 Audio

Any help would be appreciated!

DSL supports OSS sound which works for most systems.
Your system may need the ALSA sound system.
Look for alsadebs.dsl in the System section of the mydsl repository.

I've tried that without success. I found a realtek driver for linux on the web, but I don't know how to install it. Thanks for the input.

xmms tells me that I have the wrong driver or other problem when I try to connect using alsa. However, with OSS xmms connects and the visual graph looks active but no sound. Any idea would be appreciated.
