  I have the Thinkpad 760xl, and you could run the program sndconfig =
from a terminal window.
  =20
  As it presents the different options of sound cards. go down the list =
and try some that look like they might be compataible to your system. =
All it will do is show you an error window, that did not work, and you =
can retry again for a different driver. I did this and ended up with 4 =
different types that worked.=20
  =20
  The one I settled on was : ESS1868 AudioDrive
