I have a Dell server (Poweredge 400sc) and my sound works just fine in knoppix and in DSL (with the alsadebs extension).

The solution is to boot with the "alsa" command parameter. For example:

knoppix alsa      (for a knoppix cd boot)

or

dsl alsa             (for a DSL cd boot, WITH the alsadebs.dsl extension in your root directory)

or

dsl alsa mydsl=hda3        (DSL boot with the alsadebs.dsl file located in the top directory of the hda3 drive partition)

OK,

Here is a more thorough description of the instructions.

For Knoppix:

1) Make sure your computer is set up to allow booting from CD disk.
2) Insert Knoppix CD
3) Reboot computer
4) At the Knoppix welcome screen and "F2" boot prompt, type in:

knoppix alsa

and press the ENTER key.

5) Sit back and enjoy. Your should will probably work now.


For DSL, it is a little bit more complicated:

1) Download latest DSL ISO (version 0.8.1.1)
2) Go to the home page:
http://damnsmalllinux.org/

and click on the "The myDSL repository is now online!" Link.
3) Click on the "Testing Area" Link.
4) Right-Click on the "alsadebs.dsl" link and save it to disk.
5) Use the WINISO program to edit your DSL iso image and copy the alsadebs.dsl file into the top level directory inside the image (IE: the one that has a directory called "knoppix" inside it).
6) Save your edited ISO file and burn it to a CD using your favorite burning program.
7) Reboot.  At the DSL welcome screen "F2" prompt, type in "dsl alsa" and hit ENTER.

I can't provide any more details on the WINISO program because I don't use it, but I expect that it is pretty user friendly. Search for WINISO on Google or download.com and you can probably find out where to download it. Hope this helps.
