Soundcard does not work

[Jay Lynn]

Hi,

When linux starts (SuSe 8.2 pro) it says initializing
sound driver.

I go into to manually add in YAST2 Control Center.

Driver is listed SB16 -> ViBra16S

I select and then it says there is a problem - possibly with
address or IRQ. I tried manual and selected each optional value - to no
avail.

The sound cared is made on my Dell mother board.

Any help would be appreciated

Please post more information, like the output of "dmesg" and "lsmod". Also,
Knoppix-Linux has an excellent hardware detection and runs completely off a
CD, if you have DSL you perhaps should download the latest version, burn a
CD, boot your PC and check for the sound settings done by Knoppix. It might
help you setting the correct values in SuSE-Linux...

The latest Knoppix can be downloaded here:

Hi Joerg,

Thanks so much for the information.
I'm very very new to Linux and
to be honest did not know much about the
two utiltites you mentioned: "dmesg" and "lsmod"

I was in the YAST2 control center which is
GUI based.

I have juste decided to wipe out my current
new installation and reinstall. I turned off (in BIOS) my NIC card which may
help with the IRQ's when I reinstal LINUX.

Thanks so much!'
I truly appreciate your time and assistance!

Jay
