hi, new to this group and to linux
been having trouble getting my sound card to work, it works on windows, and
suse 9.1
won't work on redhat, fedora, or mandrake
i've tried several choices, most times it's recognised and shows by its
proper name so my question is...
how do you change/assign drivers in linux? i'm not terribly familiar with
command line but if anyone has any tips it would be appreciated, thanks,
sn00p

A little more information would help us help you.
Is it onboard, pci, isa or what. What make is it ?

the one i'm trying currently is an old soundblaster isa vibra16 (or
something to that effect) there is as well an onboard one i disabled through
the bios as i haven't a clue what it is (it's an old dell optiplex pc with
an intel board that i can't make out it's model from anywhere-it does
however work in suse 9.1 and anything microsoft)

Ok you might have some trouble getting it going with a 2.6 kernel. I
haven't managed to get my onboard ess working with 2.6 but it works fine
with a 2.4 one. I gave up in the end and bought a cheapo pci which works
fine.

it's really not critically important, i'm quite likely just going to switch
back to suse 9.1 so what i have already will work and call it good enough.
i still have to learn this stuff so i'm not going to go too overboard buying
different soundcards, i was only willing to try out the ones in my IT
department's box of goodies that i could beg, borrow, and steal. thanks for
your input
