Let me guess.... the Compaq Presario 700 series? Yes people are aware that there is problem with sound on these machines. There are a few people trying to figure out what the problem is, but no breakthrough yet has been made that I'm aware of. I think it's unlikely that the "volume buttons" actually control anything in hardware. They are most probably just read by some software in windows that then adjusts the volume. I think the driver from compaq calls them Easy Access buttons or something like that, I don't mess around in windows much anymore. Also if you're using 2.4.17, if you are compiling with CPU set to Athlon in the kernel config you'll want to be running one of the 2.4.18pre kernels to correct a problem in the chipsets. You can also get around this problem by selecting a lesser CPU in the configuration. If you don't do either of these things you'll quickly see Opps and programs randomly crashing when you start to push your system.
