No sound in Linux!

Hi,

I have a problem with my Linux. I'm a novice user of linux (PCQ Version Red Hat 7.1) I know nothing about configuring it, everything went fine with the installation except for the sound.

I am using XG QS3000a sound card, which runs fine with any version of windows and the driver is provided by labway.com

Please please help me how to make it work and explain it to me in detail so that i can do it with ease. Your help would be highly appreciated.

So, what happens when you run sndconfig? Is the card found as a PnP sound card? If not, can you find it in the list?

yes, i tried that too, a friend of mine suggested me to do so. It did not help me though! It shows a ERROR message saying "No such file or folder exists, unable to perform the command" or similar kind of message, as I am composing this mail in windows mode, i dont remember the very words.

It sounds like there is certain kind of file and/or file(s) missing for the command to work, what do you think? Will just copying the appropriate file(s) and/or folder help me?

thank you anyway.

Sounds odd... I'm not really a Linux expert, but to me this lounds like the installation might have been screwed up. What type of installation did you do? Is it a Linux-only machine?

I cannot rightly remember, perhaps you need to be root to run sndconfig; you could try:
su -c sndconfig <Enter>
You'll then need to enter root password.

I have WindowsXP on C:, Linux on D: and rest two drives (ie E and F ) are for file storage+backup.

I chose to have automatic format+partition... (not disk druit or fdisk)

also how do i access the files of c: e: and f:(windows)??

how do i install the remaining optional components like games, those were skipped in the last installation?

will a new installation over the existing help me with the sound??

thanks again
