Hi all. I installed Haiku for the first time a couple of days ago on
an Acer Travelmate 4070. I first installed the pre-alpha vmware
release, then downloaded the source and built a vm image, then
installed natively, and then ran an image using xen, and then
downloaded and ran the pre-alpha image. Through all these, I
couldn't get sound *at all*. Using xen, haiku recognised Ensoniq
es1370 when given the option, but then media player won't play
media files. I tried building the image with OpenSound, then I tried
building it w/o OpenSound and installed oss manually. On the others, media
player *appeared* to be playing the files well, but of course with no
recognised sound driver, there was no output. Linux volume control
says Realtek ALC883(OSS mixer), but "lspci" says Intel 82801FB/.... for
audio device.
Am I doing anything wrong? Or in the alternative can someone point
me in the right direction to porting a sound driver?
I'm a student coder with 2-3 years c++ coding. I've got a lot of time
on my hands for the next 4 weeks and am looking to learn/code OS
kernels, compilers, networking and fun & profit(of course).

Thnks.
