First off, you posted to the wrong forum as this is where everyone usually posts general chatter and complaints about MS.

Secondly, The Intel 845 was a chipset for motherboards with a built in audio codec, I think ac97_codec, which makes sense as to why sndconfig got confused, onboard gear makes these little auto-configure utilities bug out often. My guess is:

modprobe ac97_codec
modprobe emu10k1

However, I might have guessed the sound chip wrong, so you might want to post back with the output of "lspci"

Luck,

That was just a rash guess. What is the output of "lspci"?

if you didn't see the warning right after the alsa make-install (or if you installed a binary package), alsa mutes all channels by default. run a mixer application

Out of curiosity, are you running Mandrake Linux 7.2?

If so, then login as root and run Mandrake Control Center. Go to your services tab, and see if it is in that listing and it is set to start up at boot.

vinay_r99 · 05-29-2002, 11:07 PM

No am not running Mandrake Linux..... I am running Redhat 7.2 version.... now tell me hw to set to start up boot.... as it is working manually (insmod commands) .... is there a way to do ir right .....

edit /etc/modules.conf...add the following:

alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 card-intel8x0

hopefully RedHat has kernel module autoloader, so all you will have to do is try to play a sound and it should work
