Thanks for information. If the sound card is Sound Blaster compatible the following procedure could solve the problem.
Open Aterminal application and write this two commands (You must press the Enter key after you write each line):

sudo su
modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330

Then, try this play sound test without audio file:

Using XMMS, chosse "Play Location" and write "tone://1000" (without quotation marks).
That should generate a 1000 hertz tone.

If you can't hear the tone then it worked.

For the network I have used an smc ezconnect usb and dsl detected it right away on several different systems. If you are connected to a dhcp server (over cable modem or through a router with dhcp enabled) an ip will be assigned at startup. You can tell if the network card is detected durring startup if you see something like "Network Device eth0 detected ...". If you see this it is just a matter of going into the net config to either run dhcp or manually add an ip address (provided you have a network set up). I think the wirless may work using ndiswrapper or some other things but as piccolo said the network forum (do a search on wireless first to see if the toppic has already been discussed) is the place to look.
