What cheap sound card works in Red Hat 8
I am getting sick trying to get my onboard AC'97 sound working, apparently I am not the only one. I don't want to pay any money for a sound driver to "open sound" extortionists and cannot stand PC without a sound. Don't tell me anything about alsa-project.org, that site is gone, deceases, cease to exist, kaputt.
What cheap hardware sound card works in Red Hat 8? Anybody?

ALSA is still alive and kicking... But to address your question:
SB Live
The Live and Audigy series work great with the emu10k1 driver.
SB Live's are running a mere 30 bux right now, so I am don't know how "cheap" you are wanting to go, but compared to the 110 I paid 2 years ago for it, that's nothing!
Cool

The Sound Blaser 128 PCI (with the Ensoniq 1370 chip) should work fine.
My current sound card (something Generic) is using the Ensoniq 1371 with no trouble at all.

If you don't have permission even as root then something is very wrong...
Unfortunately, I don't know what it might be...
Check permissions anyway of the related devices, such as /dev/mixer, /dev/dsp, etc. they should probably be readable and writable by the owner, such as shown below.
[root@Chameleon dev]# ll mixer
crw------- 1 paul root 14, 0 Aug 30 16:31 mixer
[root@Chameleon dev]# ll dsp
crw------- 1 paul root 14, 3 Aug 30 16:31 dsp

You should be safe removing anything sound related.
Necessary items might be re-added by Kudzu, however, I'm probably wrong.
Make a backup first and hack away.  |
