[S.u.S.E. Linux] no sound yet ...
good day all ... i'm having a little trouble getting sound configured on my laptop. it's a gateway solo 2200/suse 5.2 box. i build sound into the kernel without any problem. in make xconfig i checked yes to sound card support, to ensoniq soundscape support, and to /dev/dsp and /dev/audio support. compiled the kernel with no problem, copied the new kernel to / and reran lilo. still no sound and no indication of sound support in /var /log/messages. am i missing something here? thanks! -- -- michael -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
read the sound how-to. generally, sound works better as a module. and make sure you have the correct irq and dma settings. good luck Michael Galloway wrote:

I personally regard the standard Linux sound system as outdated - have a look at the driver files time stamps! I'm using `oss' (open sound system (?!!)), some cheap commercial software - I think you find a trial version of it on the SuSE installation CD as an rpm package.

Is the sound device on your laptop pnp? if so look in to using isapnptools to configure and activate your card... =========== =========== Jonathan Paul Cowherd jpcowh01@slug.louisville.edu <A HREF="http://www.slug.louisville.edu/~jpcowh01"><A HREF="http://www.slug.louisville.edu/~jpcowh01</A">http://www.slug.louisville.edu/~jpcowh01</A</A>> This is my world and I am...
