Good Evening Conehead, I feel your pain. I installed Mandrake 9.2 2 weeks ago and have spent countless hours tring to get my Turtle Beach Montego II sound card to work. I've followed threads all over the place and straw that broke my back was not having kernel source and trying to download and install it. For someone new to Linux, even the supposedly easy to follow instructions from very helpful board members result in at least one or two messages that they don't mention. I'm not easily frustrated but 9.2 is getting to me. I just want to hear some sounds and when I boot back to XP Pro, all of my 5 year old hardware is working properly. As Conehead said, I want to use my computer not spend frustrating hours trying to get sound to work. I applaud all of you who use Linux successfully.
