RH8 No sound on Armada 7400 ESS1897

Hi,

Just installed RH8 on a Cpq Armada 7400, and upon loading of KDE, I get error message about no sound (no such device). Can someone tell me how to get the sound working on this unit?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jason,

Have you tried running sndconfig and changing DMA from 0 to 1. I have installed many versions of Redhat onto Compaq systems and, with few exceptions, always had to change the DMA to 1. Since most of these had build-in sound, I have always selected ESS1688 Audiodrive and changed the DMA to 1. If you have a soundcard installed, like a SB Live, etc, make sure you have selected the appropriate driver.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Pete
