Hi all,
I am new to work on LINUX,
I have some problems installing sound drivers on my system.
i have installed some packages but i am finding it difficult to compile and install them.
I would be happy if any one can help me in giving brief instructions in doing that
thank u..

we aren't psychic.. what packages? what sound card? what have you done to install them??

You say you installed them, but then you say you're finding it difficult to compile and install them :/. Surely that's contradictory? :/

hi,
I am sorry for not being clear..

Actually i was trying to figure out how to play mp3 audio

Then i installed oss3993d-linux-x86-v26-regparm and i have done some nonsense and after installing that, one more problem started.
During this installation i have followed the instructions in the ReadMe and Install files

when i started to run soundcard detection in -->system settings an error messages "no sound cards detected" message is displayed.

Actually i am a novice. I have installed fedora 4 a week back.
I have been on Windows for years and i don't exactly know how to install packages and drivers on linux.

Today i have checked the /dev/ folder and found some files missing they are adsp,audio,dsp,mixer,sd6,sequencer,sequencer2,sd7, and snd folder

I request to tell me how to find the type of sound card i am using.

I found some name "SoundMax digital audio" after running dxdiag on XP.
hope u could help me

Thank u,

hi,
I having difficulty in installing rpm packages...


warning: GFS-kernel-debuginfo-2.6.11.8-20050601.152643.FC4.20.i586.rpm: Header V 3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2

Most of rpm installations i have tried gave similar error saying NOKEY,....
How should i update the repositories?

I request you to explain me how to install rpm packages using "rpm" command or "yum" command. i have been trying them out but not successful doing that

thank you
