Does anyone out there know where to find a linux driver (RH8) for the PCI sound card / modem combination listed in the subject? It came as a part of an HP Pavilion PC. Here's the complete scoop:

I could care less about the modem (I think it's a winmodem anyway) -- I just want the soundcard to work under RedHat 8. I've searched high and low to no avail. Any and all help greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Jim

I am facing the same problem. It would be great if you can post how you solved this problem.

I have a similar system runnig RH 9.

thanks!!!

Hi suryadev,

Sadly, the solution was to go back to WinME. It's my son's machine anyway. He thought Linux was cool, but he likes the Windows compatibility better.

The card in question was highly proprietary, and developers never showed any interest in writing Linux drivers for it. I was just too cheap to go out and buy a different soundcard that Linux could use.

Cheers,
Jim
