    [SOLVED] How do I configure new audio card in Fedora 13

    The audio chipset on my motherboard was is very new and apparently not yet supported in Linux. I disabled the on-board audio card in the BIOS and installed an old Sound Blaster 32 PCI card figuring I can surely get it to work. How do I get the OS to detect &/or configure this new card. I did some searching and found several articles saying to run redhat-config-soundcard &. I don't seem to have that command on my system. How do I configure this new audio card? Thank you, ~metafizik

    Hello and welcome to the forums!

    Try installing alsa-utils if you haven't done so already, then run the following commands to detect and configure your sound card:

    Code:
    alsaconf
    alsamixer
    alsactl store
    Hope it works for you.

    Hi ozar,

    Thank you very much - I now have audio. I didn't have alsaconf on my system so I did a find for alsa* and had alsa-info which I ran - it seemed to upload audio info to an internat site which I went to and could see that the system had detected a Creative Labs SB 5.1 card. I then ran alsa-mixer and it also showed the same audio info. So I then went to a streaming video and voila I had audio. Thank you again, ~metafizik
