Hi,
I'm a new lurker of this list and a new user of Linux as well. Greetings
to all of you! I've written 'cause I have a problem in making linux detect
my Creative PCI 128 sound card. I have got SuSE 6.0. The full version of OSS
(3.7.something) doesn't autodetect it, while the new demo version
(3.9.something else) does, as an Ensoniq 3970 PCI card, if I remember well.
But it refuses to work when I give 'soundon', 'cause I don't have the
license file. I've compiled the 2.2.2 kernel, enabling sound module, and
specifically the one of my chipset, but it still doesn't work. BTW, I don't
know _how_ to ensure if the module works, since my suppositions are based on
the fact that xmix and such programs say that they can't found hardware, or
similar, there still isn't any sound card setup in YaST, and... I don't hear
anything! So,
-how can I ensure the kernel support works correctly?
-must I buy the licence for OSS? I'm only a student , and I have
troubles in gathering the money (oooh... what a sad story.. ;). BTW, SuSE
shouldn't say it supports my card if one is compelled to pay additional
bucks to get it work...
-is there any other list member who resolved the same situation, or
someone who can give advices?
Bye,
Germano Rizzo
