18.3 Configuring Your Red Hat Linux System For Sound 281
If you do not want sndconfig to probe for Plug and Play sound cards, run sndconfig with the
--noprobe option. It is also possible to manually specify the settings for your sound card; to do so,
run sndconfig with the --noautoconfig option.
If sndconfig cannot automatically identify your system’s sound card (or you ran sndconfig with
the --noprobe option), you’ll be asked to select the type of sound card you have (See Figure 18.2).
Use the
and keys to scroll through the different cards listed, and position the highlight on the
entry that matches your system’ssoundcard.
Figure 18.2: Selecting Sound Card Type
If you’ve run sndconfig with the --noautoconfig option, you’ll see a screen similar to the one in
Figure 18.3 on the next page. Here is where you can specify the settings for your sound card. Using
the
Tab key, select a field. Then use the arrow keys to select the desired setting for that field. When
finished, select Ok,andpress
Space .
After this screen, you may see an informational dialog box saying that /etc/conf.modules al-
ready exists. select Ok and press
Space to continue.
Finally, sndconfig will attempt to play a sound sample to verify proper configuration of your sound
card. If you can hear the sound sample (make sure the speaker volume is turned up), you’re done!
Please Note: On cards that have a recognized MIDI synthesizer, sndconfig will attempt to play a
MIDI sample as well.
