Description of problem: redhat-config-sound reports a disabled Kahula 5530 audio system. This is wrong. The 5520/5530 audio is soundblaster16, it is supported by Linux. redhat-config-sound seems to be making wrong decisions Worse still it has no --help no dialog option to configure manually no /usr/share/doc/ files turning it from merely an annoyance, into a complete showstopper
Hmm, redhat-config-soundcard gets it's probing information from kudzu. What is the PCI id of the card? Maybe it's kudzu's pcitable that is confused. Or is this an ISA card?
See email reply, but now bugzilla is back - Cyrix 5520/5530 is a PCI audio interface with no IRQ or I/O driven by "magic" Soundblaster emulation. I suspect krudzu is seeing the 5530 is a multimedia/audio class PCI device with no I/O or IRQ and assuming it is "disabled". Thats a bug but not the big bug. The bigger bug IMHO is that given a disabled PCI sound device redhat-config-sound then doesn't offer the chance to configure ISA audio.
Yeah, redhat-config-soundcard doesn't have a way to configure ISA cards at the moment. I won't get to this for GinGin, so we are still shipping sndconfig. I hope to get this done for the next release. Having said that, I'm not sure what I can do about this for GinGin. Any ideas?
If we are still shipping sndconfig (I didnt realise we were ?) then I guess for no PCI card or for PCI and disabled display info about sndconfig in the dialog "Your sound card does not appear to be PCI and we cannot automatically configure it for you. You may be able to configure it by hand using the 'sndconfig' tool' ??
Yeah, sndconfig is going to stick around until I make redhat-config-soundcard work with ISA cards. I'll have to see if I have any cards here that demonstrate this behavior. I need to know what kudzu thinks this card is before I can notify the user that the card isn't a real PCI card.
