| Sound setup should be declared in the installation, since more and more computers are bundled with onboard sound cards, and may have an additionnal one. This is not easy to do automatically since the installer may not be able to detect the speakers, but asking the user should be ok. The solution is to provide an 'index' parameter for the cards (index=0 will ensure this card is initialized first). There is a long-time demand for this on bugzilla and forums. |
