Sound Blaster 16 PCI
I've read and read threads about setting up sound cards but still can't get mine installed and working properly. ALSA seems a mess to me.
I recently installed a Sound Blaster 16 PCI card over my onboard sound (because after months of no success getting the onboard sound working). Now what? Could someone please give me a simple breakdown of what steps I need to follow to get my sound working on my Slackware 9.1 box? So far I have chmod 666 a few of my sound related /dev's with no luck. I've also tried modprobing a few drivers but can't figure out which ones I'm supposed to load. Someone please help :) Thanks, I know the sound topic has been beaten to death (ALSA doesn't seem easy to setup). Greg |
This card should work with the es1371 module which comes default with the stock kernel in Slackware.
