Re: Sound problems
What type of soundcard do you have?
For many Soundblaster compatible types.... if you get all of its info
and recompile your kernel and turn on the built-in
kernel sound card drivers (and configure them) then you are all set
I have never had luck going that route but...I had a couple of
really weird cards
If youw ant the "Easy way out" check out
www.4front-tech.com they have the OSS/Linux sound card drivers
They work great and suport many cards. They have one advantage in being
comercial software (there is also OSS/Free...but it doesn't have
everything that OSS/Linux has)
They are able to get info and specs on cards from companies
that would require them not to releace the info
This means that many more cards are suported..and OSS/Linux works great
I (when my computer worked) used it with my Ensoniq AudioPCI with
great results
