Re: how to identify sound card
Yes, alsamixer shows a lot. I also found that I have lshal which shows everything identified: lshal | less # is nice to look through They both show the NVIDA card. So I guess in todays world an advanced graphics card would have advanced sound capabilities for better management of both sound and graphics...

Re: how to identify sound card
It should be detected automatically, if enabled in the BIOS, Try: # alsamixer if not installed, do yum -y install alsa-utils Albert. On 07/07/2011 01:33 PM, Howard wrote: Hi, I am running Fedora 13.

What is the best way to go about finding out what it is? /etc/udev/rules.d/90-alsa-tools-firmware.rules shows these 3 entries: # TASCAM US-428 usb sound card. # TASCAM US-224 usb sound card. # TASCAM US-122 usb sound card. This show something different: cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 22 There is a sticker on the side of the box advertising NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE graphics card but will it do sound too? This has no mention of sound capabilities: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_6_Series#GeForce_6150SE So are either of these methods of identification reliable?
