sound config and Redhat 8.0


Hey,

When I run soundcard detection under system settings the sound configuration detects my sound card as an Ensoniq. When i click on the play test sound, I get no sound. Where do I go from here to get my sound working?

Thanks

Depending on your chipset cause I believe there are two versions of the Ensoniq sound card, its either going to use the es1370 or es1371 module.

As root try this:

chmod 666 /dev/dsp*
chmod 666 /dev/mixer*

Then depending on which module you will need try either one of these:

modprobe es1370
modprobe es1371

Exit out of being root and try to play a sound file, mp3, wav.. etc to test out.

And if you want to make it so whichever module you use load up at boot time, just edit your /etc/modules file by uncommenting the corresponding module that you will use. If you don't have a /etc/modules file, it might be /etc/modules.conf
Its been awhile since I last used Redhat.
