I just put open suse 10.2 on my system in the hope that it would detect more devices.
It appears not. Still no sound is coming from my speakers and every time I put a cd into either my dvd rom or cd drive it crashes.
Looks like I'm gonna have to hunt for some linux drivers eh?
Having said that I'm way impressed with the desktop!

Can you find the model and make of your soundcard? That's usually the key to finding Linux drivers for it. Perhaps post it here for more information.

btw I'm using open suse 10.2 now. I'll open up my pc and get the names for my cd drive, dvd drive, sound card and nvidia card.
I think that is all I should need.
I really hope I can get my dvds working.

Thanx mate. I'm gonna try and search for the drivers today.
I think I really need a book to follow, specifically for one for open suse 10.2. I saw a nice book in the shop - I might buy it.

There's also tons of documentation on the web. I've found solutions to nearly all my Linux-related problems with Google.
What initally helped me into the world of Linux was one of those crappy "Teach yourself Red Hat Linux in x days" from my local library, and although brief, it did help me to understand Linux shell commands, the Gnome and KDE desktops, etc..
My recommendation when learning Linux: figure out your tasks and priorities. When you're still in the setup stage, determine what's the most important thing to fix (there's always tons of glitches after an installation). For example, I might decide that getting my sound card working is more important than getting a proper video card driver. So then I work at that, and once I'm done, I continue with the next item.
This continues as you learn more about Linux. Maybe one day you want to learn how to use OpenOffice, and another you want to learn the shell. Set goals for yourself, and then you won't be confined to a simple little GUI.

Joe - a little bit of progress.
I switched to root user, at least here it plays my cds, but still no sound.
I have since opened by box took out the optical drives, sound card and graphics card and noted down the model numbers.
Then I checked the driver details from the menu in suse and they are the same! So it has detected them all right it would seem.
:cry: Help!
