Hello again, folks. Here I am with another remedial question... My machine has sound built into the motherboard with the SiS 7018 chipset. Windows 98 required a special driver (provided with the motherboard) before it would recognize the chip, but Mandrake 8.1 recognized it right away. Unfortunately it doesn't work. I found a tip online where someone said to use the command "modprobe trident" to configure the thing, but when I try it I get the following: /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/trident.o.gz: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/trident.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/trident.o.gz failed /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/trident.o.gz: insmod trident failed I'm afraid I need more of a "hint" than that. Suggestions? --Ben
