Thanks for the tips. After reading what you wrote, it seems totally
obvious. Thanks for being patient. I think I need to do some more
reading before I attempt this install.<br>

<pre wrap="">drivers - provide the kernel modues (NEEDED)
libraries - provide, well, the sound libraries (NEEDED)
utils - provide binaries to control your sound card (alsamixer, alsactl,
etc) (NEEDED).
If you look under supported sound cards (on ALSA's main site), they have a
nice installation sheet you can follow for your specific sound chip.

<pre wrap="">Looking at switching to ALSA sound. Do I need both the "driver" and

need some of these/all of these. Just looking to get sound functioning
using ALSA.
