Hi, Emacspeak will work on any soundcard that Linux supports. One quick and
durty way to configure and test your sound system is to run sndconfig and
run through that dialog box. It will attempt to find your sound device play
a wave file, and then a midi file if it finds your midi channel.
For hardware issues it will help to have a list of your hardware on hand
such as make, moddle, and brand. Start a little note book of what kind of
modem you have, what soundcard you have, monitor, and so on. Also flag any
hardware device that says winmodem, or windows anything in it's name. Some
of that trash is designed specifically for the Windows operating system
only.
Remember we live in a rather bias world where most computer specialists are
ignorant about Linux, and most PC manufacturers won't help you if you put
Linux on your computer. So lists such as this one come in handy, and
learning to take notes is an emence help down the road.
Hth.
