Some Linux users often ask questions: Can Linux compatible with XXX card? In fact, Linux is an open system, as long as Linux enthusiasts work, Linux can be compatible with any hardware. Let's talk about the sound card. First, we must know the type of sound card, or some kind of sound card is compatible. If the kernel cannot detect this sound card, then the driver module of this sound card is required to install the sound card. For example, the drive module used by the common sound card Creative Vibra 128 is ES1371, and the module used by the Creative PCI 128 is ES1370, and the like. Redhatlinux is used to set the sound card with SNDConfig. If there is no module, you need to recompile the kernel (compile the latest release Linux kernel), if you can't do it, you have to use the ALSA sound driver. The ALSA sound driver is originally written in the Linux core driver of the Gravis Ultrasound card. When an empirical this is very successful, it is compatible with OSS / Free and OSS / Linux sound driver (core drivers), but it has a better interface than the OSS driver. The ALSA sound driver can be found at http://www.alsa-project.org/. The latest version is 0.5.9d ALSA sound driver is a module. Below is the type of sound card supported by ALSA.
