Linux
hi...
i have installed red hat linux9 .
everything working well except sound .
there is no sound card reported by by many linux softwares like xmms,etc.
on the other hand sound works well with windows.
one thing for sure ,that i have the sound card.

linux uses two sound card appraoches 1) is using soundconfig right in the kernel generic code but newer sound card support is through alsa driver. ALSA is very robust you should use it by installing it's RPM then use it's configuration tool and yoursound will work in most cases at next boot

Are you using an 845 Chipset? Visit www.alsa-project.org
and download the alsa rpms for the onboard sound card.
Install on your system and follow the instructions on the
alsa site.
Add the following lines to /etc/modules.conf after installing
the rpm:
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
After that at # prompt, type following commands:
# amixer set Master 80% unmute
# amixer set PCM 80% unmute
# amixer set CD 80% unmute
# amixer set Headphone 80% unmute
Try playing a sound file.
To make above permanent, you can add it to
/etc/rc.d/rc.local.
I had the same problem.
Install sndconfig-*******.rpm it should be on cd 2 or 3 I believe.
then run sndconfig from a command prompt. It should detect the sound card and set it up for you. It worked for me.
Good luck,
Jeremy
