How to installl a soundcard in red hat 9
 

I just intalled red hat 9 on my computer.I try to detect my sound card in xwindow. in the detect sound card dialog , I can hear the test music, but when i click the confirm button, the system tell me that "THe es1371 driver could not be loaded. This soundcard may not be compatible with Red hat linux".I don't know how to solve this problem. My soundcard is "Creative Pci 128", its chipset is "es1371".Could anyone help me?I am just a freshman to linux.

Check to see if you have the es1371 module.

cd /lib/modules
ls -lR es1371

(not sure of those commands :o )

Try sndconfig i will show u the list of all sound cards select your card and click ok if it generate error it mean that u r sound is not compatable with your linux. try www.linuxhq.com and downlaod latest version of src.

If u r new to linux you need guidence in compaling kerenel
