Yup recompiling the kernel is enough. | 2> Which is a good PCI 32 Bit sound card which works under linux . I |dont want anything big. Just plain stuff for listening to mp3's etc. |Should cost under Rs.1000. Pick up any of the Yamaha sound cards that you get in the market I bought one last year for ~Rs700 and it came with 4-channel sound and the works... since you don't need all that ... you should be able to get one for less. | 3> Configuring the New Sound card under Linux. Would running |"sndconfig" be enough or what else has to be done ? If you are compiling sound *into* the kernel... you wouldn't need to run sndconfig. |P.S: Actually I am not overclocking my CPU in the real sense . I have a |PIII 800 MHz 133 FSB CPU but an i810 board which supports only 66MHz |and 100MHz FSB's. But fortunately through the BIOS you can stretch the |FSB to 124MHz. Can someone on the list throw some light on how safe/dangerous a thing this is ?? IMO ... when you overclock your CPU ... chances are it'd burn up... but what happens in this case ?? any device on the PCI bus could fry?? Would this include hard disks ?? (after all the ide is on the PCI bus) | The good news is that it works pretty well save for the |audio. In the process I have got the bogomips up by a good 220 units and |/sbin/hdparm shoot up(136.17/24.13). My kernel is 2.4.3.The motherboard |is a Priya i810E. Another interesting fact is that this beats a Mercury |i180FST 133FSB by quite a margin. The newer 2.4.x kernels have better support for i810 sound... maybe you'll be able to get it to work using the latest kernel.
