This link may help, about 3/4 of the way down they have information on your
card
http://www.redhat.com/support/hardware/intel/62/rh6.2-hcl-i.ld-12.html
The module name needed for the sound is sb.o, so maybe something like:
alias sound sb
options sound IRQ=7 IO=220 DMA=1
or something like that.. I don't know how it would look exactly, but it also
seems you can look at:
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/SoundBlaster
on how to setup the SoundBlaster compatable ( your card ) card up in the
conf.modules file, that or download the redhat sound utility :)
try running "setup" as root, does the old redhat setups screen popup maybe?

Subject: [Cooker] Sound problem revisited
I installed cooker from rsync last weekend, and was able to get everything
working but sound, I asked about it on the list but no one was able to
help, I am asking again because this is problem is really starting to get
to me, I REALLY like cooker/7.1 but if I cannot get sound working I will
have to switch back to 7.0 (which set up the sound card with no
intervention from me except running Lothar). I consider sound support a
necessity.
HardDrake succesfully detected my sound card as:
Vendor: Advance Logic
Model: ALS-110
Bus type: ISA
MPU401: yes
OPL3: yes
DMA2/16: yes
This is the correct information, when I click "run configuration tool" a
window comes up with IRQ, I/O base, etc. Under Mandrake 7.0 I just clicked
OK here and sound worked after that, but on cooker the window just goes
away when I click OK and sound still does not work. I tried running (as
root) `/etc/rc.d/init.d/sound start` but it simply goes strait back to the
command prompt; in Mandrake 7.0 I am pretty sure it gave a message to the
effect that sound was being loaded and an indication of whether it
succeeded or not, but with cooker it appears to instantly return to the
command prompt with no output whatsoever. I looked inside the script, and I
am not a terribly good shell programmer but it looks like I should be
seeing the messages
Loading sound module
Loading midi module
And I do not see these messages when I run 'sound start'. I also looks like
it loads the modules by searching in /etc/conf.modules for the strings
"sound", "sound-slot-0", and "midi" and modprobeing the modules it finds
there. I think that this is the failure point because here is my
/etc/conf.modules :
alias scsi_hostadapter1 ppa
post-install usb-storage modprobe usbkbd; modprobe keybdev
alias scsi_hostadapter usb-storage
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install plip modprobe parport_pc ; echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq
alias block-major-11 scsi_hostadapter
alias usb-interface usb-uhci
pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
post-install supermount modprobe scsi_hostadapter ; modprobe
scsi_hostadapter1
There is no reference to any sound modules, I thought that HardDrake was
supposed to put the appropriate references there am I wrong about this or
is HardDrake failing somehow? I am ashamed to say that as much as I like
sound, I have never learned about how OSS works; relying instead on
RedHat's and Mandrake's sound configuration programs to figure out the
correct lines for conf.modules; so I do not know on my own what lines to
put here. If I had been smart I would have copied the conf.modules from 7.0
before installing cooker, but I wasn't smart so here I am now. I have faith
that you guys can help me if I give you enough info, so if I am not giving
enough information please tell me what you need to know.
PS, I do not have any USB equipment, so is it safe for me to remove all
those usb lines? I rmmod all the modules but they just show up in
/proc/modules again when I reboot.
