Linux Laptop Sound Configuration (O'Reilly)

Dave Phillips writes about his experience of installing sound on an HP Omnibook 4150 laptop. "Configuring sound for laptops running Linux can be a very tricky process. Drivers may be difficult to find or install, reference materials may be incomplete or misleading, and even after careful configuration, your system may still emit no more than the beep from its internal speaker. In other words, setting up sound on a Linux laptop can quickly become an unwanted exercise in patience and frustration."
