Intel Sound Card in Red Hat 0

crox · 04-28-2003, 02:47 PM

My i810_Audio Model 82801DB AC'97 Audio Card does not work in Red Hat 9.
When I click on the Gnome ALSA Mixer; then file/properties the message is displayed:
Application: "gnome-alsamixer" (process 2047) has crashed due to a fatal error.
I have found the proper i810 file in the kernel. The Red Hat Hardware support data indicates that the Intel Card is suppoerted. Is there an easy fix? I am a true novice to Linux.

Thanks for the input. I must be doing something incorrectly:

[Crox@localhost Crox]$ sndconfig
bash: sndconfig: command not found
[Crox@localhost Crox]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost Crox]# sndconfig
bash: sndconfig: command not found
[root@localhost Crox]#

you probably need to install the package.

# /usr/sbin/redhat-config-packages

put the CDs in and then locate it. it will install any dependencies as well.

file:/usr/bin/redhat-install-packages is there

How is "Plug and Play" disabled in the bios?
On the Dell 2350, F2 is used to enter the bios. I used this feature to reset the boot order to install Linux as a dual boot. I have been unable to find "Plug andPlay". Sent E-Mail to Dell and received the following response in part:
I understand the issue correctly you want to disable
Plug and Play. This is not possible as you can only disable this
feature for certain components.
