| Old SoundBlaster AWE32 card not detected by Ubuntu 8.10 |
|---|
|
Problem:
After installing Ubuntu 8.10 on a really old computer, the sound card was not detected and the volume control shows up with a red error icon.
|
|
Solution:
Open a terminal and type the following (without the quotes):
"sudo modprobe snd-sbawe"
If the module loads silently, try the following (also without quotes):
"sudo alsamixer"
A textmode volume control panel should open. If you receive an error message, the problem may lie elsewhere.
If, however, it worked then make sure it works automatically next time you boot.
Edit "/etc/modules" and add the following line (still without the quotes):
"snd-sbawe"
