I guess the on board sound is not working and I dont have a sound card. I know there are some people who got sound out of this board but I dont know how

I found this but I dont know how to aplly it or install it

I have a ECS K7S5A

Believe me, the sound works. I can get it to work with windows xp, but still going thru the hassle of getting it to work with redhat 7.2!!!

If anyone finds any solutions please email me!

You posted two months after I did

I got it to work with RedHat 7.2 by updating the kernel, after that it worked descent

jrau · 03-30-2002, 07:34 AM

lol....how did you do that?

i am very new to linux and any help you provide would be greatly appreciated!!!

Do you know what a kernel is ... if not, I would start reading a bit before you delve into it

There are many ways to update yur kernel ... the easiest way is with an RPM Redhat makes available when the kernel is updated

I just installed the Athlon kernel using RPM and since I dual boot RedHat 7.2 and XP the new kernel just showed up in my Grub boot loader

i'm running redhat 7.2 on ecs k7s5a as well. all seems to be ok (little video lag problems) except for the onboard sound. i searched redhat for the "athalon kernel" but didnt' find anything. could somebody help me get it working?

funny - i just downloaded the rpm before reading this post. One thing though, i don't know what "smp" is. There are two athalon kernel versions available;

-kernel-2.4.9-31.athlon.rpm
and
-kernel-smp-2.4.9-31.athlon.rpm

is smp for multi processors or what?
thanks a lot man
