Help installing soundcard (--->really noob inside<---)

[Shin]

humm

I must admit that I'm really a newbye to linux.
I thought that maybe if someone can teach me how to install only the soundcard, I will begin understanding how this os works and how to install all the other devices.

Thank you

do the alsaconf in the terminal and it will guide u through the rest

[kern]

run 'alsaconf' as root

it will probe and setup your card

after that runs (if sucessful)

run 'alsamixer' and set the volumes accordingly, unmute any critical ones that may be muted. press escape to exit back to the terminal

after that - to store the settings, type 'alsactl store' as root

this is all assuming you are using ALSA
