You have indicated the good solution, but unfortunately alsaconf was not in the package alsa-utils (contrary to the documentation). In order to have alsaconf, I have received an excellent suggestion of Nicolas Kowalski (VERIMAG Grenoble) : - download the source of the package alsa-utils-1.0.6 - rpm -i alss-utils-1.0.6.src.rpm which put alsa-util.spec in the directory /usr/src/redhat/SPECS - comment the line of alsa-util.spec containing rm alsaconf (and the following line after \) - rebuild the package : rpmbuild -bb alsa-util.spec the package can be found in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 (for my machine) - install it with the options -i --force With alsaconf, it's easy to find the good card (sb8) : all was nearly automatically done. I had only to select this choice of driver between the drivers for sound chips on an ISA bus. After that, it was necessary to reboot to obtain the detection of the soundcard. CONCLUSION : most of my difficulties have happened from the removal of alsaconf of the package alsa-utils, I don't understand why someone has decided to do this removal. -- Michel Levy L.S.R., Bureau C214, B.P.72 - 38402 SAINT MARTIN D'HERES CEDEX e.mail : Michel.Levy@xxxxxxx tel :(33)476514022 http://www-lsr.imag.fr/users/Michel.Levy
