    Installing Sound Card



    I am new to linux world... A friend helped me to install Linux on my machine... I think it was istalled in Nov 2004 a day after the new distribution of Debian arrived. My friend installed Sid on my machine and everything worked fine, however, we could not install the sound card... as a result I have not been able to play sound on my computer. In last one year I have not touched the box much, and now I think it is time I should see if I can get it going.

    I would hihgly appreaciate if someone can tell me how to isntall sound card drivers on my Sid machine. It is a Dell machine called Dimention 300. My Service Tag is H6T3Y51, and at http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx? it gives details of my system.

    Please Help!

    ok, first thing first, you need to get the latest packages, so run from the command line as root
    Code:
    apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
    then do
    Code:
    uname -a
    to see what kernel you are using. That will affect how you solve the problem
