I have an old Pentium 200 laptop that I installed DSL Linux onto the hard drive. Everything is working good except that I don't have any sound. Can someone tell me how I can enable the sound card? I am new to Linux so keep that in mind when you try to explain the process.The first thing to do is to find out which sound card is inside the laptop. So google with the model name.
Then you would google with the sound card name and the words "linux oss sound" as DSL uses the Open Sound System, to find out which driver your card uses.
As your card has not been automatically recognized, it's ISA-based, meaning you will also have to look the IO address and DMA from the BIOS, and give them to the driver.
Can't give more instructions before knowing more of the sound card I couln't find the sound card model. The only thing that I found was that it is an Integrated 16 Bit 3D Sound card.
SB I/O address: 220h WSS I/O: 530h-534h AdLib I/O address: 388h Interrupt: IRQ 5 1st DMA Channel: DMA 1 2nd DMA Channel: DMA 0Looks like crystal sound - you can probably use the sb/sb16 or cs* etc. modules.
If it's pci, you might be able to see the exact model from System Stats (or `lspci -v`)

I'm new to linux. How do I use the modules. Are there any easy to understand articles that explain all this. I would really like to be able to use DSL on my laptop to listen to music and online radios.Next Page...
