Problems Configuring Sound Blaster PCI-128

[Hefesto]

Hello,

I want to get sound for my sound blaster. But I dont know where to start. I read something about running sndconfig; however, my system does not seem to recognize the command. I am using Red Hat's distribution 7.1, I will appreciate any comments on the topic since it will help me get a starting point.

Thank You :confused:

:confused: How would an NHF about the SBlive! help in setting up a SB128PCI?

First check the chipset your card has. There are SB 128PCI card with Ensoniq 1370, 1371 and 1373 chipsets. Check the output of lspci or cat /proc/pci for something that refers to your soundcard and tells you what chipset it has.
Say it's the Ensoniq 1371, then use modprobe es1371 to load the module into the kernel. That sound be it.

the only difference would be the device drivers but that it's not hard to find.
