What were your settings for sound on the HP omnibook 2000?
I get a segmentationfault when using sndconfig. Does setting up the soundcard only work when installed on HD?

As soon as I have sound running I will ditch Mandrake 8.2 from it... DSL is much faster and the laptop far more usable... :)

Have tried numerous settings, still not having any luck with xmms.  If I modprobe sb, I can hear the microphone input, but xmms just seems to kindof surge, like it's falling over itself, and I'm not getting any sound out of it at all.  Tried the tone generator plugin as well, did the same thing.
Is there a seperate cd player prog in DSL that I could try, to see if the CD line at least works?

Theres a wonderful old command line cd player called workbone thats in the tradition of DSL.
Uses the num keyboard for commands but works really well.

I downloaded a copy recently using synaptic so apt-get should find it ok.

Well, after installing on HD and dkpg-restore and apt-get install sndconfig I got sound working (more or less) With sndconfig a sample is played. However xmms is still complaining that my soundcards isn't installed...

DSL is detecting that sound should be working, as in the right corner of X a mixer is visible... But no sound with xmms :-(

Any idea's? *for the record, I'm trying to get sound working on a HP omnibook 2000ct....

Thanks,David

Ditto.  I've now found that I can actually get CD sound to work (but I need to sudo xmms to play a CD, for some reason?), but trying to play mp3s or tones still doesn't work.
So I seem to be getting sound from lines, but not from digital?
Don't know if my packages are set up properly, I'm getting a heap of errors when trying to apt-get stuff (the occassional one works, others don't)
