I have DSL 2.0 working from CD and USB pendrive on a new Toshiba L25-S119 laptop. The audio device has no name connected with it, and DSL can't recognize it. WinAudit and Win control panel show it as a "Conexant AC-Link". It is supposed to be AC97 compliant. An Ubuntu 5.10 live CD gets sound from it, but the video is scrambled, so there is no way to see what driver it installed. Any help on getting audio from DSL 2.0 would be appreciated. -- Steve

Fixed it. The ALSA drivers in MyDSL extensions recognized the hardward as "atiixp." I had to download alsa.dsl.info FIRST (but don't run the setup yet), then gnu-utils.dsl.info (from MyDSL System). Then run the ALSA setup from right-click on desktop > MyDSL > Alsaconf. Now I have sound. --Steve
