Well I've got to hand it to microsoft, as I'm slowly being turned back towards windows, I've lately realised how bleeding awkward it is to install files, getting mixed up with RPMS, DEB's, Tar.gz's. and getting lost in an endless maze of dependancies.

Someone please help me so I can stick with linux and laugh in Bill's face.

I have an SBLive soundcard, Knoppix recognises it as thus, and installs some working frivers for it, I have the front and rear speakers working, Haven't tried CD's yet, but then I tend to rip all my cd's and leave them to gather dust in the corner.

I tried to play a midi file, and use Jazz++ but neither works, Jazz is muted and can't be unmuted. Can someone walk me step by step (with explanations if you have the patience of each step) to getting my midis working. and I mean make it simple, I tried and failed with the Alsa drivers, got totally confused with what I needed etc.

Much apreciated.

Keep Smiling
