sound card problem - isa sb 16 pnp

[gallifray]

okay this is what I have - Redhat 7, upgraded to 2.4.1 - Sound Blaster 16 PnP ISA - also I have dual operating systems with Win98

This is what I did - I used the pnpdump and got all the settings. I set what I thought would be the correct IRQ DMS and IO and it detected the sound card at boot. But I am not getting any sound.. is there anything else I should do?

Thanks

Run sndconfig in a console as root.

there is a problem with that.. I don't seem to have it.. I am tried that and I get an error saying no such file or directory.. so I no longer have that option

thanks

It may not be in your path.

Try "locate sndconfig" - if you get a error about a old/missing database, then do updatedb first.

okay I did that.. it found a few sndconfig* files but it doesn't work.. I doubt I will get it working either.. there is just too many bugs with the RH7.. anymore ideas?

thanks

i must be one of the lucky ones then. i have had RH7 installed for 4 days now and have no problems yet.
i had to run that sndconfig thing as well. it picked up my SB live valu right away.
now i just need to put some effort into getting it to recognize my burner. HP 9310. it found my cdrom and i can play muzk off of it, but it is kinda old and dying. so i want to use the burner to play muzk from.
i am sure i will find out how to.
just read and ask Q's. it will come

[gallifray]

yeah you must have been lucky.. no idea what happen to mine.. I'll figure something out yet.. good luck with the cd burner

In case u didn't know, you have to be root in order to run sndconfig (I believe) and it will give u that error if you are a user. Just su and then type in your password, you'll be logged as root and u can run sndconfig... Just a though, hope this helps...

thanks but I knew that..
does anyone think it could be a problem with my sound daemon? because it sees my sound card.. I just don't have any sound yet

thanks
