After several attempts, I have Mandrake 9.2 working on my laptop. However, while everything appears ok, I have no sound...

Spec:
Time Traveler AMD 1400
Twister Crystal Sound chipset
S3 Savage graphics (ok)
40Gb HDD
312Mb Memory (32Mb shared graphics)

I've tried going through the hardware set-up wizard but it doesn't find any sound chipsets. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

After doing a little Googleing, I couldn't find anything positive in the way of your sound working with Linux. I did see one post over at LinuxQuestions.org where someone named 2Gnu seemed to report he didn't have any luck either.

Sorry I couldn't help more..
