Someone was having a tough time getting their sound card configured. Here's how I did it: o I read/scanned the Sound-HOWTO first (I have a SB16 non-PnP (as far as I know) sound card) o If you're using Win95, make a note of your sound card's IRQ, DMA channels via Control Panel -> System (or some such) o Re-compile kernel without *any* modules (include sound card config options, of course). Why? Seems cleaner to me is all, and less hassle/worry for a newbie like myself. o Don't use sndconfig, as you configured your sound card in the kernel already. o Fire-up gtcd/tcd or xmcd or workbone as root to test. Of course, logged in as joe user is somewhat of a problem. I gather some audio device files have permissions diametrically opposed to joe user playing a music cd. I solved this in the same way I solve all of these "only root can do it" issues, via sudo, but would welcome a better approach! -- Lee Kirby Portland, OR -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
