sndconfig doesn recognize my soundcard. What should I do?
If sndconfig doesn’t recognize your soundcard, you should see if you can download a driver for your card. The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) web site, located at http://www.alsa-project.org, lists many sound cards, along with their drivers (if available). Another alternative is the Open Sound System (OSS) for Linux. OSS is a commercial implementation of the Linux kernel drivers, and a list of supported cards can be found at http://www.4front-tech.com/osshw.html. There used to be a free version, but apparently it is no longer available (if anyone knows differently, please let me know).
