[LBo] Introduction

[Gene Venable]

Hello, I have been playing with Linux for a long time, though I got more serious lately. I have one computer with nothing but three Linux distros -- Suse 10.1, Sabayan Linux (a kind of Gentoo) and Freespire. The one I keep coming back to is Suse. The laptop I'm typing on now only has Windows XP. 

I've had a frustrating sound problem on that computer, which is one thing that keeps me studying. I solved it fairly easily in Suse, so I can watch DVDs, etc. There is no sound in the other distros at the moment. Sometimes I get sound working for awhile, and it vanishes. I know what is causing it sort of, just not how to solve it. I have onboard sound and an Audigy adapter -- they conflict. Disabling the onboard sound in the Bios doesn't help. I want to use the Audigy sound.

I heard about something called blacklisting, which I may want to do when I figure out the correct syntax. 

But I don't just want to solve the problem, I want to understand the solution better! That is why I am here.
