+bus. You will not see the card listed when viewing the PCI bus. This is less |

-There are two approaches to sound on modern kernels: OSS or ALSA. OSS is the |
| 935 |
-older of the two options and has been depreciated, but still functions well for |
| 936 |
-many older Macs. ALSA is the newer method and will continue to be supported in |
| 937 |
