sound not working = slight problem

[Michael Havens]

DUDE! You're right.... it is an ISA card.
Sorry for the confusion. I was wondering why it wasn't lspci too!

Well the closest I can find to an lsisa is isadump but after inspecting the 
manpage for it that doesn't seem right. I had it working setting it up as an 
alsa soundcard using the command:
	amixer groups; amixer set PCM 100 unmute

check this out: (found with 'apropos isa')
	wavelan (4)          - AT&T GIS WaveLAN ISA device driver
	airo (4)             - Driver for the Aironet 802.11 ISA/PCI/PCMCIA 4500 &
		4800 and Cisco 340

what I'm thinking is one of these might be the driver that was used in the 
prior OS (mepis.10.02)<that's right I haven't updated anything in 3 years!> 
If I'm correct I get to embark on a new adventure: setting a device driver!
