Do you have the option to choose another device when you right-click the sound icon on the panel? I've got realtek sound hardware, but linux always gives me the option of using the built in intel devices that are on my mobo. Try that out....

I have the same laptop and the same setup. XP MCE on a small partition. I have also experienced the no sound issue. If I find a fix I will post it here.

Have you gotten your wireless working?

Ok, I think i have narrowed it down to one of two options.

This usually occurs when I have had to use XP briefly. So I think that

a) Xp somehow messes with the Bios in some way (unlikely)

b) I had this problem last night after using XP. After about 15 min of xp usage. There was no sound. I put a fan on the laptop and let it cool the laptop for about 5 min. Came back and it worked fine. I wonder if the load on the sound device with xp creates some problem. Not sure. Just a wild guess.

Rad... let me know if the fan thing works for you.

CS2 is on the WineHQ platinum list, and if you haven't run across this site (I found this site while looking around for help on running other programs in wine):

http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=graphics
That page has a link to installing CS:
http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=photoshopcs
Looks easy:
Type wine /pathtocdrom/setup.exe to install Photoshop.
Type wine photoshop.exe in the installation directory to run Photoshop.
Good luck.
