[linux-audio-user] toshiba A10 - S213 - bios and kernel

[juto aviten]

Hello Friends,
I bought a laptop toshiba A10 - S213 pentium 4 - 516 Mo and I installed 
mandrake 9.2 on it, i use it with the multimedia kernel of mandrake. I 
would like to know if one of you could access to the bios of this kind 
of machine, it seems that we have to use window$ to have access to it, 
really strange. Does someone have an idea?
And also, I have some problems when I used sound and that in the same 
time I run a brownser or another application, the sound is cutting by 
some other priority of the system, I tried to give priority to sound by 
doing  nice --10 but it's always the same, does someone had experienced 
this problem?

thanks a lot for your help!!
