From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: I have a Crystal Audio sound card. Output from /proc/isapnp: "Card 1 'CSC6835:CS4236B' PnP version 1.0 Product version 0.1" This card is not properly detected by the gnome sound card detection program nor does the gnome volume control work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run the Redhat->System Setting->Soundcard Detection menu item. 2.Run sndconfig to correctly detect the sound card. 3.Then run the Redhat->Sound & Video->Volume Control menu item. Actual Results: The sound card detection program simply says that there is no sound card detected. The volume program fails with an error: "An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-volume-control. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly." When I click on details, it says this: Bad key or directory name: "/apps/gnome-volume-control/OSS-Crystal_audio_controller_(CS423-1/vol": `(' is an invalid character in key/directory names Expected Results: The sound card should have been detected, and the volume control should work. Additional info: The sound card worked just fine in RedHat Linux 7.3, and I got it to work in RH8.0 using sndconfig (the text version). aumix-minimal also controls the volume just fine, so this is a problem in the GUI apps.
I have the excat same problem with an Opti 16 sound card that was detected perfectly in v7.3
I have a AW35/Pro sound card with Crystal CS4232 chipset. I have the same problem described ubove, but the output from /proc/isapnp is quite different (see the following text).

So, after reading bug 75014, I understand that the problem is in redhat-config- soundcard, but: - no solution is provided in redhat; - no suggest is given for other possible solutions. Very, very well...
guidorocca, you should be able to use sndconfig to configure your ISA soundcard. I apologize for any misunderstanding, but redhat-config-soundcard currently only supports PCI soundcards. It's not that I don't want to support ISA cards, but I'm trying to be honest about what I can realistically accomplish in the time between now and the next release. As I said, sndconfig should configure most ISA cards properly.
Sorry, I misunderstood. I supposed that redhat-config-soundcard was the only way to get a sound while running X. I have used aumix and now I can hear sounds. Sorry again Guido
