Re: Sound module not found




Hi,

I've learned it the hard way, I have already re-compiled the kernel to
support sound (unfortunately is the normal way on Linux), before I have
found that the RH 5.2 kernel was compiled with support of many sound
card !.

You'd need to find the utility called sndconfig or something like
this, it will generate a /etc/module.conf file, which will have the
correct alias of sound, and required modules, i.e. - 'sound' should be
alias for the proper module matching your hardware.

I have removed the 5.2 from my PC so I cant look it up and give you
more details, but it is there.

Regards,

	Yossi A.
