Yes, I looked up the card, when I bought it, it was advertized as having
the "Sound MAX audio chipset"  I followed this however:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/AD1981B

I installed and loaded the modules in the kernel. I think I did
everything right. When it boots up, there is a message from alsa saying
"no soundcards found..."  Maybe it is something I need to do in the
bios?

Also I can't seem to start gnome. all I get is a black screen and the
mouse does work (just an X in the middle of the screen) When I test it
with X, I get the typical grey screen with the same X curser and it
seems to work fine. I think I will start another thread for this
though...

Thanks again!
rick
