I have read the wanted procedure, so I will try to get it right.

I have a SBLive! sound card that I cannot seem to get working, Red Hat 9.0 won't even recognize it.

lspci gave:

I think the line we are looking for is 02:09.0

Kernel: 2.4.20-18.9

I looked at dmesg, couldn't find anything relative.

Please help

what does lsmod give you? have you tried sndconfig?

I cannot seem to find sndconfig...

Here is what lsmod gave me:

check to see if #dmesg has any weird errors

and to get sndconfig, redhat should have the rpm for it. just install that and run it.

If I use #dmesg, nothing,
if I use dmesg:

kbeaver,

Just a quick off-topic question, but how did you set up your modem (I have the same one)?

well kbeaver, i'm pretty new at linux myself, but i searched a bit and found a page that might help you out

try going here:

http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Soundcards

you probably don't have to download or compile any of the stuff if you have a recent kernel. so try skipping anything that says download and compile and whatnot. try starting from here:

HSADude,
I am on a cable-modem, and it worked as soon as I fired Red Hat up the first time. Don't know what to tell you.

odd...thanks anyway

I have looked around. Apparently the "value" version of the Sound Blaster Live! doesn't have a driver. Creative, the manufacturer sends you to www.opensound.com for a driver. There are several posts that say that their driver produces a sound that is barely audible. Here is the info from my new Optiplex 270GX.
