[Alsa-devel] SoundCard compatibility question

[Pete Barnard]

I have just installed Red Hat Linux 7.3 on my pc at work and will be installing the ALSA drivers.  However, the sound card is described as a "SoundMax integrated Audio" (I don't really know much about this card and cannot find it on the ALSA soundcard matrix).   I have read that it is a SoundBlaster compatible card but I haven't had this confirmed.  Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I would get ALSA to work with this card? for example, what lines do I need to put in the /etc/modules.conf file? and what options do I need to type when I do a ./configure for the drivers? Are there any external drivers that I need to download etc?   Failing all this - will I have to replace it with another card that is listed on the ALSA soundcard matrix ??   Regards,   Pete
