I'm not sure if any official release came without sound support but they were going to drop sound because they didn't consider it crucial for rescuing machines. They just forgot that blind people need sound. The intended use for grml is to allow systems admins to rescue down machines so they are trying to strip out anything not necessary for that. Anyway, like I said in another message, they put sound back and the fix for the muted sound card is already in the very latest download. Now if we could only get VMWare to put sound & speakup in their esx and esxi kernels, then we'd really have something. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Albert Sten-Clanton" To: "'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'"
