<rant>Okay, let me just begin by saying this- Compaq, HP and all affiliates are pure evil! If any of you are looking for a new box, DON'T BUY FROM THEM! Small, proprietary cases, "System Restore" cd's, and all documentation and drivers work in Winblows only. Plus tech support sux.</rant>

On to my question/problem. My onboard sound card on my Presario 7360 (got it for free, bad HD) won't work. I've loaded the correct module, the maestro3, and then I go into XMMS and try to push play. Unable to open audio. I check my plugins and, seeing that the proper OSS plugin is loaded, try again. Fails again. I try modprobe maestro3, and then try again. Failed.

The relevant output of lsmod is below:

Module Size Used By
maestro3 25448 0 unused

Forgot to say, I'm using Slack 8.1
