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

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!! juto aviten http://radio.apo33.org
