i install fedora core 4 but it fail to detect my sound card. my sound card is sigmatel. how can i solve this problem? can i install other sound driver? thx
As root or superuser did you run the command alsaconf to detect your soundcard?
nop. when i try it, it say command not found. where shall i execute this command? sorry i'm kidda new at everything. thx
Fedora has no alsaconf
wsc Show full info about your soundcard's chipset
(You could find it in /sbin/lspci)
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH 4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
this is what i found from lspci ^^
in Windows, the audio is : SigmaTel C-Major Audio
driver provider : SigmaTel
version : 6.14.1.3906
ps: i use laptop
=o does fedora use alsa or is it just 'one of those redhat things'? Thinking back way back to the last time I used it, there's always at least been a redhat-specific GUI tool for soundcard autodetection, perhaps you will find it in your DE's menu under 'Configuration' or 'Settings' or another appropriately named submenu (assuming you chose to install the administration package group, iirc). To the best of my recollection, fedora still uses kudzu, have you tried running it (as root) from the cli? If it doesn't detect anything, I(or someone quicker)'ll look up the module name itself.
sorry i cant quite get what u mean, i'm a noob in linux
When you install Fedora there will be an option to install Administrative Tools or Utilities or some such fodder. You can likely install the whole package group from disc 1 manually or through a redhat program on the disc, iirc. After installing these tools you should find a soundcard configuration item in your favourite desktop environment's program menu. also, fromthe command line as root, try typing 'kudzu' and hit enter.
it say there's no kudzu command... i believe i already install all package from disc one but there's no such program as soundcard config. thanks
