I would like to know what i should do to get sound working on fedora core 4. I have a HP nx6110. I dont know what the brand of card is, but im assuming that its one of the stock defaults (everything else registered A OK) http://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/shop/detail~dpno~200292.asp. But the site didnt tell me my sound card at all. Any comments or help on what you did or what i should do would help... even if you dont have the same model laptop... thanks.
Im doing that right now. Im busy installing ALSA (VERY cool) and im confused with these two steps 7) Edit your kernel module config (either /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modules.conf, depending on the kernel version). If you are not sure, what to do, you may try the alsaconf script available in the alsa-utils package. 8) Run 'modprobe snd-xxxx' where xxxx is the name of your card. Note: All ALSA ISA drivers support ISA PnP natively, so you don't need isapnptools any more. Don't use both together. It will conflict. For disabling the ALSA ISA PnP support, specify --with-isapnp=no configure switch.
Run Code: modprobe snd-xxxx (replace xxxx appropriately) and then add snd-xxxx to /etc/modules so that the module gets loaded at boot time. I'm not quite sure if step 7 is needed anymore then...
Thanks Thank you very much... I am quite proud to say that this is an amasing project. Hmmm its good And if i have any more problems ill let you know.
When my machine first started, all external audio was muted. To unmute it, run alsamixer in a terminal, hit right-arrow until you get to item "External Amplifier", and type "m" to toggle the mute setting. Also, bring up the Sound & Video -> Volume Control application and check for proper settings.
