Sound under SuSE 7.0
I am running a machine with SuSE 7.0. I am pretty happy with it in general. I'm wondering about my sound card though, the install program (Yast2) detects my sound card fine, even tells me exactly what model it is but when i try to set it up they say there is no driver for it. The Web site states that it should be supported by OSS, but to make a long story short I don't really want to pay for that and I have found another driver on sourceforge that I used when I was running red hat. I install the driver the same and it works fine, but if I shutdown for the night, or boot to windows then come back the sound will not work and I have to install the drivers again. Is there away to keep them around so they load up the next boot up? I know it worked in redhat, I just had to install it once. Um mabye I'll have answered my own question here but I just installed kde2, the instructions for that told me to install the rpms then run SuSeconfig. Mabye I should intall the drivers then run SuSEconfig... is this the fix? I'll try it anyway and I'll be glad to take any advice if someone knows what the answer is. Thank you __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Sound under SuSE 7.0
I'm not familiar with SuSE 7.0, but I'd suggest that you add the appropriate commands in "/etc/conf.modules" or "/etc/modules.conf" or whatever file SuSE uses to load modules at boot.

Re: Sound with Suse?
Mike, Yeah, we did this, we did a bunch of neet stuff (pnpdump, and all that stuff...) I belive that was the demo 6.2 cd(without oss) However, if you have OSS, its really easy :) Jamie You wrote: SuSE also sticks all the aliases for the sound cards in /etc/conf.modules. Just go in and uncomment the section that pertains to your card. I think I did it for (?Jamie?) once and it came right up. You should find something like this: #This works for blah...blah...cards (find the one that matches) # #alias sound modulename (uncomment these below \/) #alias maj-char.blah. #options irq X (if you know the IRQ, put it in here) #options ioport (same here with ioport) Sometimes these get quite long if you have a card that has lots of funky features, so go until you get all the way to the next card section.
