Question: PCI Sound Card/Red Hat 8

[Calum]

and i suppose i should have mentioned that that lead was connected all along.

i found the solution, you just install mandrake 9.0 instead of red hat. it installs alsa fine by default and has no problems with my c-media sound card.

problem solved.

hahahaha my ballsack. MAndrake is a great linux distro and if it works for hiim why should he have to be laughed at? in fact im using mandrake now cos my 20 bg HDD has failed so now im using a 3gig HDD with Mandrake 9 installed and its working like a champ.i might even stick with it if we can sort out this apt for rpm for mandrake crazy uninstalling things that shouldnt be uninstalled business     GO CALUM

yeah. red hat failed, mandrake succeeded.
now as for that apt for red hat thing, it's a repository problem. need better repositories for mandrake than the textar ones.
