Thanks for the reply.  The link looks promising.  However, I have no clue how to try the right module.

I ran the commands you suggest, but didn't understand output and couldn't figure out how to copy out of Bash -- figured I might be able to paste to a text file and post it here.

I typed modprope opl3sa2 (not that I know what I'm doing...) and didn't get any success.

How would I load the right module?

Thanks again:)



EDIT:  Tried insmod.  Got better looking messages but the same popup when trying to play an mp3.

Mark the text with the left mouse button, paste it with middle button (and if you don't have a middle button, click left and right buttons at the same time).

I also noticed a post at http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=10737 which may guide us some.  Look like that person installed to hard drive though.

lspci doesn't show any sound card, maybe it is an isa card. If you have windows on the laptap you could see if you can find any info about the card there (irq, io, dma, ...) and then use that info when you try insmod/modprobe. Or maybe there are some settings in the bios ...

Thanks, I'll keep after it.  It looks like this laptop/soundcard has a history of difficulty (just some quick web searches).

Thanks again
