Soundcard not being detected
 

OK, so I got new memory for my machine... and I put it in

Noticed the soundcard was loose, it wobbled in its slot, took it out, put it back in (the same slot) and tightened screw.

Now my sound doesn't work!!

When I first installed redhat it wouldnt work cause i have onboard sound and it was trying to use that rather then SB Live!.... i had a friend root into my box and fix it... worked like a charm but he hasnt been online latley...

So... what do I do to change it so it uses my SB live?

PS. I _need_ my mic to work as well.... I do net coferencing... my friend was able to get that to work too... a mic jack is in the sb live!

here is the output os lsmod - which people ask for alot when thers soundcard issues

Your /etc/modules.conf should have these lines:

alias sound-slot-1 snd-emu10k1
above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss

If it doesn't have these lines, then use a text editor to add them to the file (do this as root). If they are there already, then it's most probable that your sound card has a hardware problem. If that's the case, then I would remove the sound card and make sure that the connectors are clean. Particularly make sure that some dust or fluff didn't get into the connector when you re-seated it.
