Getting sound card to work for Red Hat
 

I have Red Hat FC1 and haven't got my sound card to work since day 1.
However, sound works perfectly on the WinDoze partition that the rest of my family uses.
"redhat-config-soundcard" detects an Ensoniq ES1371 (AudioPCI-97) which should be linux-compatible.
I have no idea what I can do to make it work. Any ideas?

Enable ACPI in the kernel for your system.

Two ways to do this.
One, read the 5000 posts on this that are already littering linuxquestions.
Two, dump retarded redhat for a decent distro that actually boots with acpi enable by default.

I DID do a search on this- couldn't come up with anything relevant.
There are instructions on enabling ACPI, but only on Debian.

maybe you should switch to debian. you'll like it.

Then again, a quick google search reveals that most users find this card does not function at all with linux, and buy a new card for sound output. heh
