sndconfig finds the cards, configures it, but plays no samples at the end. Attempting to start esd makes the machine hang for about five seconds a number of times. Used to work fine on sndconfig 0.33 and redhat 6.0.
Have you actually tried this with Red Hat 6.1? (the deja.com article is for Mandrake...)
Is that the exact problem you're noticing - an isapnp.conf that has a line not uncommented correctly? What does your isapnp.conf look like?
Hmm... that looks OK. What happens if you do: isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 ?
Yes, that isapnp.conf looks fine - that's why I wanted to know whether those two commands work OK when run outside of sndconfig.
That's odd. If it works running like that from the command line, it should also work in sndconfig ; what does /etc/conf.modules say?
What sort of graphics card do you have?
If you set up sound from the console (where it works OK), and then go into X, does sound work there?
I have same problem with SB 16 Vibra Pnp Card works ok from console, but does not work within KDE System sounds do not produce any sound.. Any ideas?
The problem with KDE is with the KDE startup script, and is fixed in the rawhide packages. As for the rest, I can't reproduce it here.
