You undoubtedly have them already. It's just a matter of figuring out how use your distro's administration menus to configure them to load automatically. I haven't looked at Suse for a long time, but if I recall correctly, their text based admin menu system was called "yast". With Red Hat, you use sndconfig, which is open-source, and may possibly be used with other rpm based distros like Suse. Maybe someone who actually uses Suse can supply more detail. Are you sure it wasn't already configured during installation? Have you tried something like: play sound-file.wav to test it? More troubleshooting info is contained in /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc*/sound/Introduction, in case you have problems (depending on where Suse keeps the kernel docs -- use something like: locate sound/Introduction to find it). > 2. is it possible to get sound support in dosemu? The first question here, is whether it is actually worth the effort to configure it (dosemu is highly configurable, but that adds complexity). Most blind users will likely want to run dosemu in text mode, and indeed may have no choice but to do so, if using a serial port based hardware synth or braille interface, so native Linux text based sound support would be active in a sense. Most sound related things can be done better through standard linux utils. So tell us what you actually want to do with sound through messy-dos, and maybe we can give you a better idea. > [quoted lines by Kristoffer Gustafsson on December > 30, 2002, at 20:48] > ... > >2. a sound card problem. i can't get my sound card > >to work. i am using suse linux 7.2 and a crystal > >audio codec sound card. can someone tell me if > > ... > Linux supports at least the cs4232 and the cs46xx > cards. The file "cs46xx" (in the same dir as the Intro mentioned above) begins: "Documentation for the Cirrus Logic/Crystal SoundFusion cs46xx/cs4280 audio controller chips". This and another file or two in that dir, are the documentation for that driver, if you insist on configuring it by hand (not recommended). LCR -- L. C.
