Re: [PLUG] (no subject)


I usually have several programs "running" but they are not doing anything:
Mozilla is sitting on my webmail page and AIM (official client) is idle waiting
for calls.  

I'm wondering if I need to run sndconfig again (this system has a Crystal Audio
sound chip - whatever that is.)

Thanks.
