Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Re: Thinkpad and Sound

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi Steven,

I needed my LAN for a trip this weekend, so I took out eCS and put back
OS/2 Warp.

The sound problem is the same, so hopefully we can troubleshoot this.

OS/2 Warp works fine without sound (I remmed out vhdo0437.sys driver plus
the soundblaster drivers). I still get occasional intermittent beeping --
maybe three beeps, maybe twenty.

Sound works fine under Win2K. Also, I have not yet noticed any beeping
under Win2K nor under Acronis True Image being run from a CD (uses Linux).

Attached are copies of:
Config.sys
mmpm2.ini
three RMView files
two PCI files.

I couldn't get the PS2 utility to work. If I type:
PS2 ?
I get a list of arguments for parameter one and a "more" message. When I
then press a key, the screen flashes with something and then shows the
command prompt.

If I type PS2 with any parameter, I get the same screen flash and command
prompt.

"tee" does not seem to be a recognizable command.

My Thinkpad is over five years old and has never been serviced. Do you
think this might be a hardware problem?

Thanks,

Sandy
