hi,

I am a newbie to Linux and `ve installed Mandrake Linux 9.2 given by HP on my HP Compaq Presario M2208TU laptop. but the sound card is`nt detected.

my sound card is Conexant CX20468-31. can any body tell me where to get the driver for that ? Surprisingly the Conexant site also does`nt mention anything abt this :confused:

I`ll sincerely appreciate any solution for this.

thanks & regards,

9.x generation linux'es are old, try a new distro, I suggest Fedora core4 with system updates, if download time is an issue, try ubuntu 5.10, it comes in 1 CD, but leaves out a lot of stuff.
As an alternative:
download the 2.6.14 kernel form www.kernel.org and compile it, but i don't recommend that, it's rather difficult.
The easy way is to install a new linux, or you could try to update the mandrake instalation, can't help you there, as i didn't try mandrake(mandriva).
