Hello there,

good day everyone, i am new to red hat 8. Been having problems with installations however i have managed to get it working perfectly now so i though it to be. My sound card does not work, i've been reading the posts here & other websites but no luck.

I tried alsa drivers, i have successfully compile the files, after completion. modprobe command was to be used, however it fail to locate the modules.

modprobe snd-cmipci;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss

modprobe: Can't locate module snd-cmipci
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-pcm-oss
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-mixer-oss
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-seq-oss

I got no idea why this does not work, help is most appreciated.

thank you

Try just cmpci instead of cmipci. If that works add /sbin/modprobe cmpci to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules under sound support

hi /sbin/modprobe cmpci works, however i cannot locate the file rc.modules. don't have it in the directory. should i make one up or what should i do?
thank syou

You don't have a rc.modules directory or you don't have /sbin/modprobe cmpci in rc.modules?

when i do the modprobe mcpci it worked
however i do not have rc.modules
maybe location for that directory is somewhere else?

but yeah, still haven't got my sound card to work yet, iit still giving me a big headache everytime i want to listen to music.

I'm not all that familiar with RH's file structure. I thought most distro's would be the same.
In red hat, it may be called /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
