I have an Audigy 2 sound card and cannot find any place to configure this card.I have noticed at bootup that DSL is seeing the sound card and loads a driver for it. But when I get into DSL I have no sound and couple of the sound programs I have tried cannot find the sound card.   I am new to linux so please make instructions easy to follow
Thank you very much for your help

I have an Audigy Platinum II card that I use with DSL. I am guessing you need alsa. I'm not sure how you are using DSL so let's assume liveCD for this purpose.

1. Spin up DSL CD and make sure you have a net connection
2. Double click the MyDSL Browser
3. Click on the 'System' button
4. Click and install 'dsl-dpkg.dsl, gnu-utils.dsl and alsadebs.dsl
5. Close the browser and open the desktop menu
6. Choose Install ALSA from the 'MyDSL' menu
7. You should now have sound

You can make all of this load automatically depending on the type of installation you are using. Give this a go and see if it works.
