Other Help Topics :: How do I set up my sound?

I am really new to linux and I am clueless as to how to set up sound. I havent been able to find a step by step walkthrough. I do know thanks to TuxMobil.org that I can use a soundblasterpro 16 bit compatable driver and the IO settings are-
IO=220h
IO=388 # for ADLib
IRQ=5
DMA=1
DMA=0
I just dont know what to do with it all. The computer is an Omnibook 3000ctx I think the actual sound chip is a Crystal

I would greatly appreciate any assistance I can get, Thanks!!

I have an old Compaq Armada 1580DMT laptop (with soundblasterpro) and got the sound working by downloading via apt the 'sndconfig' package and running the script. First you'll need to enable apt (right click the desktop then Apps>Tools>Enable Apt) then at shell (XTerminal):

dsl@box:~$ su
Password: *********
root@box:/home/dsl# apt-get install sndconfig

(after it installs, run the script by typing 'sndconfig' without the marks)

root@box:/home/dsl# sndconfig

You'll be presented with a config gui with settings options for I/O, IRQ and DMA. Play around with it and hopefully you'll find a combination that will work for you ;) Hope this helps...

Try searching the forums for keywod

Crystal* OR cs*

and search ALL FORUMS and FROM THE BEGINNING or NEWER.

or, you can just do "sudo modprobe sb" and it should work.

enjoy.

Cool thanks, Ive learned alot just from this experiance it sort of reminds me of setting up sound on an old dos 6.2 box. I still need to play with some settings to get it working right but that shouldnt be to hard.

P.S. SaidinUnleashed> Your signature cracks me up LOL
