Whose fault is that? You have bleeding edge hardware and are unhappy 
when last years RHEL based OS does not have the latest trivial sound 
driver? Grab a the latest Fedora, Ubuntu or Knoppix live cd & see if you 
hardware is recognized or pull the sources from a repository & build 
yourself new kernel & sound driver. SL is meant to follow RH Enterprise 
Server development, providing a stable platform for servers and by 
design prefers stability over the latest developments. Laptops have 
always been troublesome due to poorly documented, proprietary new 
hardware and their are just as many laptop howtos which attempt to 
address the pitfalls. Sound is not a priority or required service on 
most servers. Suggest you figure it out & publish a howto on 
http://www.linux-laptop.net/ like hundreds of other dedicated linux 
laptop users. Contrary to your complaints, the original post to this 
thread was well written & contained useful tips about getting new 
hardware working in SL. Regards -Art
