SuSE Linux: Version 5.3
You want to configure Linux such that it can access the sound card. In order to do this, you try
to select the menu item "Configure sound device"
below
"System administration" --> "Integrate hardware into system"
in YaST
. However there is no
way to activate this feature.
This menu item refers to the configuration of the soundriver OSS by 4Front. Version 3.7.1z is included in S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 . Rather than using the kernel sounddriver we recommend to use OSS.
Install the package oss
(series snd
).
Installation instructions can be found in the article
OSS: Sounddrivers by 4front.
Please note, that the menu item in YaST can only be activated after the OSS installation program was executed.. The main purpose of this menu item is the reconfiguration of the driver. It will disappear in upcoming versions of S.u.S.E. Linux.
If you want to or have to use the kernel sounddrivers, please follow the instructions contained in the articles ISA-PnP: Configuring an ISA-PnP card and Sound: Configuring an ISA-PnP Soundcard .
