[LUAU] Fedora Core 2 and Silence

[Ben Beeson]

Aloha all,

	I found a more permanent fix to this one -- reference the thread that I
started Mon Sep 13 19:48:58 HST 2004 in the September 2004 LUAU
archives.  

	I discovered that FC2 does not have the Red Hat sound configure tool
any more.  It also appears to be missing the /etc/modules.conf file in a
default install. (Don't know why and I don't know if this will work for
FC3 as I am still using FC2.)  If you add the /etc/modules.conf file
back with contents such as this:

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-sb16
# module options should go here
options snd-sb16 index=0 id="SB-16" port=0x220 mpu_port=0x330 irq=5
dma8=1 dma16=5 isapnp=0
     
 
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
 
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
 
then your sound survives system updates. More details for the particular
entries needed for various sound cards is available at: 

	http://www.alsa-project.org/

Just follow the supported sound cards link and fill in your soundcard
manufacturer in the search box at the bottom of that page to be taken to
the goods for your particular sound card. 

Enjoy it in stereo now,

Ben
