Setting Sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Hi,i wanted to know how do i set my sound to stay on my system when i logged in,cause everytime i boot or reboot i've to go into setup to do my sound configuration all over each time,and yes i do get sound ,but it doesn't seem to save it or something.Oh ya one other thing is there a way to adjust the volume from the knob instead of opening up my volume control panel on my computer?Please help me please.I'm running RH 8.0 and i've just brought a creative soundblaster 16 PCI.I hope those info. helped you ,so you can aid me PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Open up a terminal and type:

su -
password: <enter your root password>

modprobe sb <I believe it's sb for soundblaster 16--soundblaster live uses emu10k1>
insmod <correct module name here--if "sb" put sb>

cd /etc

Open /etc/modules.conf and input your alias:

alias sound-slot-0 sb

This should get your sound card working properly. Additionally, when you launch X do you get any errors regarding /dev/dsp? If so, in your terminal you need to grant permission to run it:

chmod 660 /dev/dsp

Hope this helps.
