hello! yes, it detects my card. it sas pci audio something. it is made by intel corporation. so, it finds this card ok. now the trouble is to get the card to work. i'll try to get the info in a file if i can and send it to youif you need it. also, can you send me the latest suse-blinux version as an attachment ot me if it doesn't is too large. i know that you are developing it. have a nice day all blinuxers! -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: blinux-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blinux-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]För Christian Schoepplein Skickat: den 25 juni 2003 14:00 Till: blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx Ämne: Re: SV: kernel compilation Hi! The detection of your soundcard is not a matter of YaST, I think its alsa related. Just try the command alsaconf as root, thats exactly the same command whitch is executed by YaST. Also you could try the command hwinfo --sound to let the system look, if your soundcard is detected automaticly... Please send me the output, maybe I can help you. What SuSE-version are you using? What kernel is installed on your system? Normaly all alsamodules are included in the distri, also the oss-modules. Have you ever used the soundcard with linux before and are you shure, that this card is supported?
