Re: No Sound after install

["Jonathan M. Slivko" <jslivko slivko org>]

I actually had the same problem with my soundcard. Apparently, the
company that produced the card didn't release specs and a proper open
source driver was never made for it. However, there is a company called
Open Sound System (http://www.opensound.com) who you can buy drivers
from. When I bought them, it was about $35. The sound works very well
with it. Hope this helps,
