Sound Card not detected

[Taqwus]

I just went from RH 8 to Fedora and now
When I had RH 8 installed my soundcard worked now with Fedora it is not detected correctly
Is there a way to manually fix it

There are many reasons for a sound card not being detected, but since you had it working under RH8 I am guessing PNP os is already disabled in the bios.

Did you check to see if there are any modules relating to your sound card in the kernel?

lsmod

post the results here.

to find out what kind of sound card you have

lspci

post the results here.

If you have modules in the kernel that are prefixed with snd then you are running alsa and need to unmute.

You can check the alsa documentation or do a search here for how that is done as it has been posted many times.

There are also a lot of sound threads on here. Have you tried a search to help resolve your problem?

Agreed!!! Search/look through the Hardware forum for other soundcard related threads to find troubleshooting suggestions.

Search this forum for 'trident' as there is a recent thread on the same SiS (or similiar) soundcard.
