I can't say this will solve your problem, but try disabling PNP in your BIOS. That fixed the sound problem on my portable.
My Knoppix runs almost perfectly if not that problem with my sound card. The board is not recognized, but the Yamaha OPL3-SAX shipset is! Then in the configuration utilility it says it can't open /dev/audio. I have no idea what that means, I just what some sound)
If anyone could help, please!
And another thing - how can I play video? xmms won't do it
Thanks
