lspci says
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High 
Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)


How would I go about finding which audio driver I am using?

On a related note, whenever I log in, the login 'tune' is *very* loud,

was set too before logging out. Just thought I would get that in there...
Once again, thanks for the help.
