p.s. i am a newbe!

hi antiwindows, welcome to lq. could you list the cards you've tried? could you list the output of /sbin/lspci -v w/each card if possible?

The cards are:-
Sound blaster live
C-media 2x on board and not
ES1989 Solo-1 Audiodrive

For All Cards The error massage is
"The ........ driver could not be loaded. This SoundCard may not be compatible with Red Hat Linux."
The ........ Is the name of the module on the Card
