I am totally new to Linux. Hope I can get your help!
I just installed my Rh7.1. By following get-start-guide, login as root and password, then command sndconfig. It said "bash:sndcoonfig:command not found". What should I do? I need this feature for my project, please please help! Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this will work, but try running /usr/sbin/sndconfig as root.

hello,
if that fails please let us know what card you are using. redhat has setup sound for me on installation since 6.2 ..

have u installed sndconfig rpm ?
otherwise pls install that and then try.


U can check the card details in /proc/pci file
siddiqu.T

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried /usr/sbin/sndconfig, it does not work either.
Also I do not know what card I am using, could you please tell me how to check that? I know this post maybe stupid, and I am readlly a fool of the hardware. So please help me out this, thanks.
I think I have installed "sndconfig rpm" file. I sticked with the installation guide step by step, and have chosen all the package except KDE. I checked the "/proc/pci" file, and found nothing about sound card. Does that mean that I do not have a sound card installed or I did not install the "sndcoonfig rpm" file?
I am really frustrated with Linux until now. I know there must be a way out, and hope can get your help eagerly!
Thanks for your reply again!

It's just /sbin/sndconfig

if that doesn't work.. try this..

locate sndconfig

Find a file in a bin or sbin directory called sndconfig and run that file with it's full path or cd into the directory and type:

./sndconfig

I have tried sbin/sndconfig, it does not work.
Tried to find the file sndconfig in both bin and sbin directory, but all failed. Would you please kindly tell me what should be next? Thanks.

Jane

First type:

rpm -q sndconfig

to see if the rpm is installed, if it's installed then skip the installation process below:

If it's not installed, go here to get the RPM for RH7.1 on an Intel machine:

http://speakeasy.rpmfind.net//linux/....8-1.i386.html

Just click on the big letters to download the rpm. Then at the prompt in that directory type:

rpm -ivh sndconfig-0.64.8-1.i386.rpm

That should install the RPM for you.

Now you should be able to locate the sndconfig file and run the binary. Feel free to ask if you need anymore help.

Just click on that link by the way.. the whole link didn't show up in the post for some reason.... sorry.

When I try rpm -q sndconfig, and system tells me that "command not fouond", I think I did not install that file.
Then I go to download from that link. If I click on it, it display the whole file in Netscape, can I just save this file in html style and keep going? I also try to "save the link as" by using right button on my mouse, and get "Access denied" error. what is next? Thanks.

Jane

I tried to save the displayed file and also got "Permission denied error", what is wrong?

Jane

Right click and then select save as and save this file somewhere that you can find it:

ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7...4.8-1.i386.rpm

Then type the command I gave before:

rpm -ivh sndconfig-0.64.8-1.i386.rpm

You have to be root in order for it to allow you to install this. If the command before didn't work though.. rpm -q sndconfig... then you have other problems that I'm not sure how to fix. Also.. if you can't find your sound card in /proc/pci then it's probably one of two things. The card isn't plugged in properly or the card isn't supported by RedHat Linux. It should say something in it about multimedia audio controller or something to that effect. Even on-board sound controllers should show up here. You shouldn't really have to run this program. I have installed RedHat Linux 7.1on 3 or 4 occassions and never once had to do anything as far as setting up my sound card. I hope that yours will work though. Keep trying.

Be sure that you're root when you're doing all of this.. it makes things a lot simpler as far as these permission errors go.
