From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: Does not detect the on-board CS4236 sound system of my PR440FX based dual Pentium Pro workstation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.9-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch "redhat-config-soundcard". Actual Results: The message "No soundcards were detected" is issued. Expected Results: "redhat-config-soundcard" should detect and configure the CS4236 sound chip correctly. Additional info: After installing "sndconfig-0.68-4", the latter detects the CS4236 sound chip immediately and produces a functional "/etc/modules.conf" file.
Same problem here with a cs 4232 During installation the card seems to be miss-identified. In modules.conf you find right after installation: alias sound-slot-1 ad1848 post-install sound-slot-1 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-1 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : and nothing else regarding sound. Good old sndconfig of beta null (sndconfig-0.68-4) detects the card and configures it . modules.conf afterwards: alias sound-slot-0 cs4232 post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : options sound dmabuf=1 alias synth0 opl3 options opl3 io=0x388 options cs4232 isapnp=1 /proc/isapnp just after installation finished: Card 1 'CSCe825:Crystal Audio' PnP version 1.0 Product version 0.1 Logical device 0 'CSC0100:WSS/SB' Device is not active # ## (because driver not loaded) Resources 0 Priority preferred Port 0x534-0x534, align 0x3, size 0x4, 16-bit address decoding Port 0x388-0x388, align 0x7, size 0x4, 16-bit address decoding Port 0x220-0x220, align 0x1f, size 0x10, 16-bit address decoding IRQ 5 High-Edge DMA 1 8-bit byte-count compatible DMA 0,3 8-bit byte-count compatible Alternate resources 0:1 ......

A similar situation here. I've got a Creative SB AWE64 Gold (ISA card) in a Red Hat Linux 'null' machine here. "redhat-config-soundcard" didn't find it ('no soundcards were detected'). "sndconfig" did find the card. After some questions the following modules were inserted by sndconfig : awe_wave 170912 0 (unused) sb 9332 0 sb_lib 44526 0 [sb] uart401 8452 0 [sb_lib] sound 73780 0 [awe_wave sb_lib uart401] soundcore 6500 6 [sb_lib sound] On previous installations - e.g. Red Hat Linux 7.3 - sound always worked without any trouble.
(forgot to mention : tried "redhat-config-soundcard-1.0.1-1")
I've got a dell latitude Cpi D300 XT, sndconfig on RH7.3 and null, don't find the sound card, but suggest using soundblaster. I also installed sndconfig and got it working on the beta version by accepting soundblaster.
Right, sndconfig had the ability to handle some ISA cards, while redhat-config-soundcard only handles PCI cards at the moment. I don't have any current plans to handle ISA cards in redhat-config-soundcard. Deferring.

Only handling PCI cards? One of Linux's strong points is its use on older machines. Windows supports these sound cards seamlessly--in order to compete, you do, too. (BTW, my dell machine that exhibits this problem is not that old.)
One more thing that needs to be added here. This is more than a configuration problem. You cannot control the volume either with the gnome-volume-control app, even after you configure it with the TUI app.
aric, I'm not saying that redhat-config-soundcard will never support ISA cards. I'm just trying to be honest about what I can realistically accomplish in the time between now and the next release. I can't explain why the gnome-volume-control doesn't work for you. I don't think that has to do with redhat-config-soundcard, however.

Just my $0.02, I just installed 8.0 and it failed to configure my SB16 ISA card! IMO this really needs to be fixed...my Mom would never have found the solution to this problem :) Seriously, can a work around using sndconfig during initial install be created as a temporary kludge until redhat-config-soundcard is up to snuff?
snconfig is there if you want to run it. Or at least it should be.
