Fabian,
Well I never tried it with the alsa-cheatcode (knoppix alsa). I did not know that they were avalible?

I will have to give it a re-try. I chalked the sound detection problem to a HP XP2200 incompatability with Knoppix.

I will give it a try this weekend. Is there a FAQ on what the cheatcode is?

Thanks for the help!
Paul
