The Linux Sound HOWTO

Last Version: v1.17, 4 August 1997

Please take a good look at the Sound HOWTO (available from sunsite.unc.edu and other sites). It contains a bulk of data about compiling the kernel with sound support, and explains a lot about the sound devices, applications etc.

I understand this HOWTO as an addition to the Sound HOWTO.

You should also look at the Sound Playing HOWTO. It tells you about the various sound formats and applications to play them.

6.3 Sample isapnp.conf

In the ISA PnP configuration file created by pnpdump, the single devices of your PnP cards appear as sections. In the output below, one card was detected (the sound card), with four logical devices:

• LD 0: Audio Device
• LD 1: IDE Device
• LD 2: WaveTable Device
• LD 3: Gameport Device

I left LD 1 unconfigured, because I have no CD ROM attached to my sound card IDE port. If you have no IDE port on your SB, then LD 1 will be the Gameport Device and LD 3 will not appear.

Please refer to section Getting started for further (important!) information about this file.
