abhish_agr@xxxxxxxxxxx staggered into the Black Sun and said:
[I] have red hat enterprise edition on my [computer.] But it does not
detect my sound card, while other [OSes] do.
RHEL is for servers, not desktops. Servers don't have soundcards. If
you have a desktop, you want to be using Debian Testing or Gentoo or
Sabayon or Fedora (Fedora only if you're OK with bugs and permanent-beta
status).
Can any one [suggest to] me the way to fix it up?
/sbin/lspci | grep -i audio
# This will tell you the make and model# of the soundcard you have in
# your machine. grep -ri for that make/model# in /usr/src/linux/sound/
# to find the name of the module that supports that soundcard. Assign
# that module name to FOO. If neither lspci nor grep returns useful
# info, then your pciutils and/or kernel are Too Damn Old and it's time
# to upgrade both of them.
modprobe $FOO
# Now you have sound. Alternatively, you can try
alsaconf
# ...but that won't help if your kernel's too old to recognize your
# soundcard.

I find that having a pint or two is a good problem-solving technique.
Especially if it's vodka rather than beer.
