280 What Do I Do Now?

For additional information, please consult the README ﬁles in the rhsound documentation direc-

tory (/usr/doc/rhsound*), and also the ﬁles in the kernel documentation directory (/usr/doc/kernel-

doc-*/sound).

There is a mailing list associated with the modular sound drivers ([email protected]).To

Recognized Sound Cards

At this point, most sound cards should be recognized by the modular sound drivers; however,

drivers for the following sound cards were among the ﬁrst to be developed, and as such, have re-

ceived the most testing:

Sound Blaster 1.0

Sound Blaster 2.0

Sound Blaster Pro

Sound Blaster 16

Sound Blaster 16 PnP

Sound Blaster AWE32/AWE64

18.3.2 Sound Card Conﬁguration Tool

Also included in Red Hat Linux 6.0 is sndconfig, a screen-oriented utility that can properly conﬁg-

ure modular sound card drivers.

There are a few things that you should know about sndconfig:

Plug and Play Aware – sndconfig is able to detect and automatically conﬁgure Plug and Play

sound cards such as the Sound Blaster 16 PnP. The conﬁguration information is stored in the

/etc/isapnp.conf ﬁle, along with the conﬁguration information for any other Plug and

Play devices. In order to ensure that no conﬁguration will be lost, sndconfig saves your

original /etc/isapnp.conf ﬁle as /etc/isapnp.conf.bak.

Modiﬁes /etc/conf.modules – sndconfig modiﬁes the module conﬁguration ﬁle

/etc/conf.modules by adding information about the module options required for your

sound card. Note that sndconfig saves your original /etc/conf.modules ﬁle as

/etc/conf.modules.bak.

To set up your sound card, run /usr/sbin/sndconfig. Note that you must be root in order to run

sndconfig. If your system contains a Plug and Play sound card, sndconfig will identify it, and

conﬁgure it appropriately.
