sound???

[pugil]

I have a sound blaster PCI512 and I am trying (in vain?) to get my sound to work.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have slackware 7.0, kernel 2.2.13.&nbsp;&nbsp;I cat'd /proc/pci and got an I/O range, but isapnp finds nothing.&nbsp;&nbsp;(is that because it's ISApnp?)<br><br>any suggestions would be muchly appreciated.<br>thanx<br>

RedHat has a &quot;sndconfig&quot; utility.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you can install RPMs onto your box, you might want to try installing this.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even though it's RedHat, as long as you can install it, and you have the right libraries installed, it should run.<br><br>If you've ever seen the old &quot;sndetup.exe&quot; program that used to ship with DOS based games, then you'll be OK with using &quot;sndconfig&quot;.<br><br>When you use this to setup your sound card it makes sure that all the correct modules and so on get loaded when you start your machine.&nbsp;&nbsp;(Assuming the sound module for your card is compiled and installed in /lib/modules?)<br><br>Hope this helps.

thanks.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll try that tonight.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>just curious.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any idea what the difference is between the SB PCI512 and the SB PCI128?&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>

 

[AndyBo]

Not sure, but I think it's the number of &quot;bits&quot; it can handle.&nbsp;&nbsp;What this means in sound card terms I'm not really sure, but I think it's related to the number of channels it can process at any one time.

Actually, after some surfing, the only real difference I could find between them was the number of simultaneous midi that could be played.&nbsp;&nbsp;Go figure. <p> <br><a href=mailto:ille_pugil42@hotmail.com>ille_pugil42@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=

Make sure you DISABLE PnP on your BIOS so that &lt;whatever&gt; your Linux distro is, could detect the card.<br><br>Then make sure you boot-up as usual, type &quot;dmesg&quot; and see what are the kernel messages. Then do a &quot;tail -n 50 /var/log/messages&quot; to see if the soundcard modules are loaded into memory.<br><br>Or else, do a &quot;cat /proc/interrupts&quot; and &quot;cat /proc/ioports&quot; to see if the kernel detect any ISA/PnP soundcards.<br><br>If all fails, do it the easiest way, Goto <A HREF="

and download the OSS sound drivers and do a &quot;/path../soundon&quot; to allow OSS to &quot;modprobe sound&quot; and &quot;insmod&quot; the appropriate sound modules.<br><br>--Moonshi<br><A HREF="mailto:moonshi@email.com">moonshi@email.com</A> <p>Moonshi Mohsenruddin<br><a href=mailto:moonshi@email.com>moonshi@email.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

I have a pc with onboard sound. And I want RH 6.0 to recognise it. I also have Caldera Openlinux 2.?

Is it possible to configure these OS's to recognise an onboard soundcard?

all the best,

Try the sndconfig or whatever, see the other message in this foroum about sound...
