Fella's,
My P2 Dell Latitude notebook needs a Crystal 4237B driver to activate sound. AntiX doesn't recognize this soundcard (neither do many other distro's btw).... __{{emoticon}}__

Could somebody please explain -or provide me a pointer- how I can add this driver and make the sound work ??
I've got the appropriate Windows 2K driver available, if this can be of any use...

THANKS,
V.

Did you try alsaconf as root?

Vronsky,

I saw your post and Kano's reply on the Kanotix forum.

If you are still around, try these steps.

1. Open a terminal, sux and give your root password.
2. Type in rox
3. Navigate to /etc/modules file
4. Right-click on file>Set Run Action>Type leafpad in the box. (make sure you leave a space between the 'd' and the" >Use Command
5. Now left-click on the file and copy/paste the snd info.

Thanks, instructions worked great, but no success: still no sound.
Your distro looks really terrific, but apparently not for sound on my stupid Dell. Perhaps I should just dump the thing, and get a decent one.

Anyway,
cheers,
V

Shame it didn't work.

Maybe post on the MepisLovers forum. There are lots of people who may be able to help.
