ok, so I try above lts.conf. No sound. the system>preferences>sound
shows no sound-card other than the via8237 in the server.

How do I go about gathering the specific information needed for filing a
bug? (Can I remind you I've been thrown in a the deep end here, but I
like it. It just means I've got to learn things and learn them fast.
speculate to accumulate and all that)

I'll try the suggestions on the other posts too, in a little while. 

I think I'll rip a pci sound card out of a spare machine we have. Do you
think that will work if i place it in the client and disable sound on
the bios?
