I just installed Fedora core 5 on my IBM thinkpad 600 series and the sound doesnt seem to be working. I tried to run system -> aministration -> soundcard detection but it tells me "no soundcards were detected. after reasearching in google i found a thread from someone running fedora 4 saying to turn off quick boot in the bios which i did, then it also says to add lines to /etc/modprobe.conf I dont know how to add lines since i am new to linux can someone help? or can someone provide an alternative solution? if you had success getting the soundto work in fedora 4 i'd apreciate your input. thanks

Hi

It sounds like the sound modules are not loaded in the kernel. From the command line, as root, type:

This will print out the modules in your kernel. You may not understand the result, but here is the way mine looks:

I have just included the modules that have to do with sound. Run this command and post the results back here. That will determine whether the modules exist in your kernel.

Hope this helps,

Bob
