<p><strong>From Nathan Balakrishnan on 23 Oct 1998 </strong></p>
<!-- begin body -->
<p><strong>Hello,
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Do you know wheather YAHAMA OPL3-SAx WDM soundcard is directly
supported by Redhat 5.0 and how would I go about setting it up under Linux
if it isn't?
</strong></p>
<p><strong>NATHAN

<blockquote><IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" ALT="(!)" height="28" width="50" align="bottom">The best source of information on this subject is
probably the "The Linux Sound HOWTO"
(<A HREF="http://www.ssc.com/linux/LDP/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO.html">http://www.ssc.com/linux/LDP/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO.html</A>)
by Jeff Tranter &lt;<A HREF="mailto:tranter@pobox.com">tranter@pobox.com</A>&gt;.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>I think most of the kernel sound support was originally
donated by Hannu Savolainen &lt;<A HREF="mailto:hannu@voxware.pp.fi">hannu@voxware.pp.fi</A>&gt; of
4 Front Technology (<A HREF="http://www.4Front-Tech.com/oss.html">http://www.4Front-Tech.com/oss.html</A>)
which also sells their "Open Sound System" package (for
about $20 US (presumably)).
</blockquote>
<blockquote>The version that's included with Linux is known as OSS/Free
while OSS/Linux is 4 Front's commercial version. They also
support sound drivers on numerous other versions of Unix.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>I guess there is an independent "Linux Ultra Sound Project"
(<A HREF="http://home.pf.jcu.cz/~perex/ultra">http://home.pf.jcu.cz/~perex/ultra</A>) which a list of
or "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" which includes your
model on their list of supported cards
(<A HREF="http://alsa.jcu.cz/src/soundcards.html">http://alsa.jcu.cz/src/soundcards.html</A>).
</blockquote>
<blockquote>So, try reading those and see if that helps. I personally
have almost never used any sound cards. My computers make
enough noise with all those fans and disk drives.
