[QUOTE="wmprice1240, post: 892050, member: 99551"] Finding out the exact model of the sound card, though difficult, is going to go a long way to helping out. Chances are there is probably a driver out there, but you may have to add support for it by configuring support for the driver in a kernel, compiling and then installing the new kernel. Though this process is not as bad as it sounds, it's not trivial. One thing you could try, in Linux type the following as root at a command prompt: lspci -vv This should give you a device list of every device on your system and you should at least find more information about your sound card. Note, while Linux does have plug and play type capabilities, sound is generally the real challenge with any distro. If the Linux install did not recognize it the first time around it's probably something you are going to have to add support for. Intel makes a few sound cards so getting the right one with the right support can be frustrating. The other approach would be to install Linux via Parallel's of VMWare and see if the audio is functioning. You could probably get a pretty good idea of what type of sound card it is via the emulation layer. [/QUOTE]
