[ltp] TP600+Debian problems

[Joe Clark]

I know this isn't the answer that you want but for what its worth.  I
recently picked up a TP600E (PII366, 192 mb 6.4 g and a DVD).  I have
successfully loaded RH6.2 and RH 7.2.  The sound worked fine until a couple
of days ago.  The Gnome and KDE players seem to be working but no sound
comes out.  When I boot up in WIN98.  The sound works fine.  I have really
only begun troubleshooting so I don't have an answer.  But this might be a
data point.
