Well, it appears I spoke too soon ... the system sounds and MP3's are 
now somewhere between static and total silence after the third boot. 
Plays CDs, of course, but that's a different neurological pathway.

Not really disappointed, as it was just for laptop kicks, without any 
expectations that I would have a multimedia experience like I do with 
XP. Just like to have tunes while writing, but I suppose that is what 
stereos and MP3 players are for

I would be nice if (older) laptop hardware was as well supported as 
desktop hardware. Until then, I shall be "migrating" back to Windows on 
the laptop. Well aware that the Linux community, in general, has more 
compelling issues to address. After all, who is getting "paid" to make 
my Yamaha sound card functional? (Yes, it worked with Fedora and 
Knoppix, but there were other stability issues there after installation).

Peace,
Rick
