configuring sound card in linux

Whenever i try to configure sound card in ELX linux i get a message as
'pci sound card not found'
what might be the problem,do i need to replace the sound card?

try getting alsa-utils package and run in a terminal as root:"alsaconf"....it will automatically adds you card......if ur pc is newer...try latest alsa or refer *alsa-project.org...Linux is covered in Open SOurce Section....

Yes, try alsaconf as Prakash suggested, but if that fails to detect and set your card up, find out the model name of your sound card, search for it on the alsa site, and note down the drivers associated with it. Then load them by using the command (as root) -

modprobe <driver name>

have the bash-completionxxx.rpm installed so that by pressing tab twice shows u the possible modprobe values...like this..

Code:

cosmic:~#modprobe (now press TAB twice will show the possibel values..)
.....

Why not run alsactl? :roll:

alsactl is for storing the audio/volume preferences,,,
