How to install hardware

[fstemp]

[root@localhost fred]# lspci | grep -i audio snd-sb16
grep: snd-sb16: No such file or directory
[root@localhost fred]#

If I typed it right.

Not this

[root@localhost fred]# lspci | grep -i audio snd-sb16

but that :

lspci | grep -i audio

so lose the "snd-sb16" at the end.

[fstemp]

Nothing. All that I get is:

[fred@localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost fred]# lspci | grep -i audio
[root@localhost fred]#

Thanks!

Hehe, so no sound card detected.

Perhaps the whole lspci output then :

lspci

[fstemp]

Just typing

lspci

I get:

[root@localhost fred]# lspci

So maybe the soundcard is dead? Was working in W2K yesterday before I changed over to Linux. Oh well, can you suggest a good soundcard for Linux?

Thanks again for all of your help, you have been outstanding!

So the soundcard was working in Windows 2000? It should work in Linux then. Are you sure it is rightly plugged in the machine?

Reseated it just to make sure.
