LUG Install fest -- Sound
- Before You Begin, find out:
- Sound Card Name, Manufacturer
- Is it ISA or PCI
- If it is ISA, is it PnP?
- If it isn't PnP, what is the IRQ, DMA, IO, etc.
- If you have sndconfig (RedHat, Mandrake, Caldera, some other distros)
- It autodetects...no work required
- If sound card is reported "Not Supported":
- LUG recommends the AudioPCI (ESS 1371)
- If you don't have sndconfig
- Compile kernel module
- edit module configuration manually--location depends on distro: /etc/rc.d/rc.modules; /etc/conf.modules; others may be possible
- here's where you need to know IRQ, DMA--they are module parameters
- Make sure you have a /dev/dsp: as root 'mknod -m 660 /dev/dsp c 14 3'
- Useful Sound-related programs
