Hi Paul,
Good to see you here. Here's part of a post Ian had posted a couple of
weeks ago when I was having problems with my thinkpad's sound. You may
want to check them out.
There are a few different sound drivers to consider:
1. FreeOSS
Built into your Linux kernel
If your soundcard is supported, it doesn't hurt to try
these first.
2. ALSA
http://www.alsa-project.org
For users willing to try something new, ALSA is where you should
really
consider.
3. OSS - Commercial greatly improved form of FreeOSS
http://www.opensound.com/
For users that have issues getting their sound to work,
I recommend paying for a license.
