Re: [LI] Sound Advice

["Aditya Deshpande" <adityad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The correct way of configuring you sound card would be to exit X -Windows
into text mode( also you have to be logged in as root.)

then run sndconfig.

type
#pnpdump > $HOME/pnpdumpout
#cat $HOME/pnpdumpout | more

does this list your card if it is being detected then your card would be
listed.

Also are you giving the correct IRQ and DMA settings

| Hi guys(gals?),
| I am a digest subscriber..and a Linux newbie in almost every sense...
| Anyways, I have installed RH6.1 on my P200 MMX, coexisting with Win, using
| LILO at boot.
| I have an AZTEC 2320 PnP sndcard.
| The problem is that although I get sound in Win, there is none in Linux.
The
| applications say -'you must compile sound support into the kernel'. I have
| already enabled sound support in the Gnome config.
| Although I have run sndconfig as root, it behaved strangly . After running
| it, it detects the card correctly, gives the name, and prompts for OK.
After
| that it just *hangs*. A couple of times, I was forced to *reboot*. Another
| time it just ended as if nothing had happened. The sound did not come on.
| Sndconfig advises to exit XWindows before running it. I do this by
pressing
| Ctrl-Alt-F1. Is this right? Can this be the problem? Also if you may, how
to
| get back from a terminal session to X? Typing 'X' says that Xserver is
| already running.
| Thanks for reading till here
