Hi, I guess you have gotten this kind of request several times, and you are probably fed up with newbies like myself, but I am gonna give it a try anyway.
I am a quite experienced computer user, but I am totally new to Linux. This is a completely new world to me, but I must say that it looks quite exiting. I have just installed Redhat 8 for the very first time. I have gotten most of my devices to work, with one exception - my Audigy soundcard. I have been reading a lot of tutorials and how-to on how to use the ALSA drivers to get this card to work, but to no avail. I must confess that I am feeling both stupid and helpless when loads of error messages are scrolling over my monitor when trying to run the "make" command. My system: Pentium 4 2,53 Ghz with 1024 MB RAM, Radeon 9700, Audigy sound Redhat 8, Kernel: 2.4.18-27.8.0 What I have tried so far: 1. Installing the alsa drivers. I have used several tutorials, f.eg this: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Audigy+Platinum&chip=Audigy&module=emu10k1 When I get to my second "make" I get hundres of lines with error messages that does not mean anything to me :( 2. I have tried the OSS drivers. These give me sund, but very limited. It plays system sounds, but no audio CD or mp3 files. Should these be uninstalled? If yes, how do I do it? What I would higly appreciate: A detailed description of EXCACTLY what I will have to do to enable sound on my system using the ALSA drivers.
