Silence can be golden, but when you're trying to figure out how to get sound working and you're a little new to Linux, well it don't sound all that great! I have Mandrake 8.2 on a Compaq Deskpro 4000 and harddrake says the sound card is an ISA ESS 1869 (and for DMA2/16 it says "yes", whatever that means). If I hit "Configuration Tool" it pops up a window with a list of sound cards and the ESS1869 highlighted. If I hit "OK" there, I'm told there is an error in the modprobe call "Can't locate module isa-pnp". So I guess I need to get this module? If so, how do I do that?
