I don't know about Silas pc; it wouldn't hurt.

he says in the docs somewhere you have a choice in sound setup between
direct and windows; he implies there's a bug in the "windows" choice, and
you should choose "direct" for now; maybe that will help.

Whal, that is a nasty one.  I wonder if that will help the situation with
Sila's computer.  When I get to the sound setup Her computers gives a error
message and closes the setup wizard.  It happened in the original setup and
also when trying to run the wizard after installation.
