PM 7600 sound problem

[Julius Naim]

Many thanks, I did search around but didn't manage to find this out.

As I found a known problem hard to solve is there a good source for know
issues apart from trawling through this list or googling?

I've also got other issues that aren't covered in the YDL docs such as one
with my ADPT 2940 card but I'll come back to that another time!

Thanks again

This is a known YDL problem on all Macs. You just need to type 'modprobe
dmasound_pmac' as root and all will be well.
