Bug 72045

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

    Device is not active                 # ## (because driver not loaded)

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.
