Machine similar to this http://www.pcpro.co.uk/buyer/security/reviews/5214/viglen-homepro-pii-400.html though with 128MB RAM and different modem.

Knoppix recognises sound card and names it, selects and names driver, but then reports error configuring sound. sndconfig when knoppix has started also fails. Attempt to start sound system eventually reports that it will run the sound to a null output device.

This is an old machine, March 1999, still with the original sound card which works with Windows 98. Suggestions??

don't pay attention to bootup configuration
turn off aps
Use alsaconf in root on your cli
read follow directions
choose the snd-ymfpci card and wait for configuration
ok/yes on all dialogs
check alsamixer and/or kmix
for adjustments

save by configure or customize
