IceStorm Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 I am trying to learn Linux from the top down. So I dug out my very old Toshiba Satellite 305CDS laptop and installed Mandrake 9.2 on it. Everything works great even though its been like trying to read chinese without the book. hehe I've got my video working great, PCMCIA modem perfect, etc. etc. Except my sound. I have absolutely no idea on how to get this to work. Again, I'm new to linux so I am asking for guidance. Is there an application in setup that will allow me to find new hardware? I went to the hardware setup and audio was not listed. Here are the specs from Toshiba for this pig: Model name/No. DynaBook Satellite 305/300 / PA1261xx Processor MMX Pentium 166MHz Memory(MAX) 32MB(96MB) HDD 6.4GB Display Display 12.1inch TFT /DSTN 800x600 Display controller C&T B65555 Video RAM 2MB Sound PCI PC Card controller CardBus x2 USB 1port Anyone ever install something on this? Yes, its old. But this is just a test bed. I figure if I can get this flying trashcan working, maybe my main system wont be so hard. Oh...and so far I'm enjoying the learning of linux. Its a blast.

tyme Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 it seems the sound card should be sound blaster 16 compatible. have you tried looking in the hardware list, under "unkown" ? see if it shows up there...but i'm not sure how much that will help :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
