AT, Try running alsaconfig. With any luck you have the driver, it will find your card, and then you'll be fine.
Since you are running RH7.3 (same as me) you might want to check out Planet.CCRMA for this sort of stuff. IT makes it all so easy. http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 8:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Alsa-user] need help to configure soundcard I just installed Red Hat LINUX 7.3 Professional. System detected my soundcard ES1988 Allegro-1 by ESS Technology (driver maestro3). I ran sndconfig utility more or less successfully (can hear sound effects for different events), but there is no sound for games, music CDs, etc. Entry in /etc/sysconfig/soundcard reads: CARDTYPE=UNSPEC After trying different options, RHL tech support suggested that I need to download and install a driver for my card created by ALSA. I am new to LINUX and it is difficult for me to follow what would be for more experienced user clear and detailed installation instructions. That is why I am asking for help. I wonder if some LINUX expert could help by: - first, telling me which file I need to download form this type of card and where it is located; -second, tailor the generic installation instruction for this particular case, substituting all "xxx" for whatever should be there instead, so I could just follow them to the letter. I would greatly appreciate help in this matter.
