I'll have to do this from home tonight, I don't have my laptop with me, almost brought it in today... hurm. I can't remember off the top of my head but I was pretty sure it was supported by ALSA. When I had SuSE installed on my laptop, I went into some audio configuration tool (again, not sure which off the top of my head but it was definitely in YaST). I do know that the card is a Yamaha OPL3 (or some variant, this Toughbook uses NeoMagic for display and audio if memory serves and as such is a real bitch to deal with). Then I had to go in and manually feed the IRQ's and memory addresses for the various sound bits.
It sounds like YaST was acting as a front end to modprobe. My old p166 also had
a neomagic video card but it had some odd sound card that while it was
supported, it needed me to manually set specific IRQ/IO adresses. I used the
debian tool modconf (not sure if ubuntu has this) which was a curses based
front end to modrobe.
I am not sure what you mean by a config tool for sound. Are you referring to the mixer (kmixer, amixer, there are a few alsa mixers)? For sound on my old P166 I needed to pass some parameters to the kernel module such as IRQ etc.
Nope, see above. Again, I am not looking for a GUI tool like YaST in Ubuntu as I don't believe it has this (yes, I am spoiled). I have no problem doing this from command line I just don't know what tool to use. By tool I am referring to stuff like xorgconfig, sndconfig and its ilk. Command line configuration tools. Or if there is no 'tool', which conf file(s) do I need to edit? Sorry I should have been clearer about what I was after.
What you are looking for is probably similar to "modprobe snd-opl3-lib.ko irq=7
io=0x200 mem=0x300" (I made up the values so use your own)
Hope this helps
