I installed ISAPNPTools and the pnpdump utility reports that I do indeed have an ISA adaptor. It's a Crystal Audio CS1436b and I did find it on alsa-project.org, but after reading how to get it working, I decided to = try my USB SoundBlaster and I am please to report the SB is working great. = I also expect the sound quality from the external adaptor is much better = than the built-in one. =20 I'm still having problems playing mp3's though. I tried installing trplayer, but it says I'm missing the libslang (slang) libraries. The trplayer web page has a link to get the slang libs, but I'm not sure = what to do with them....oh, but I did get RealPlayer v8 installed. I also tried mplayer (all lower case), but it doesn't seem to recognize = the mp3 as a mp3. It just spouts all this junk about caching so many bytes = and the hard drive is really working as if it were playing, but no sound. = I'll have to try some other mp3 players. So much to learn....so little time. Thanks all for your help, Ken -N5SWR =20 -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca = [mailto:speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of David Bruzos Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2004 6:08 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
