Sound on RHEL 4
Getting sound to work properly on my RHEL 4 box has always been a pain. Maybe others are having this same problem. Here's my solution.
General setup
Sound Blaster Live (emu10k1) sound card needs to be re-configured whenever there is an updated kernel.
Install the ALSA code
You need to rebuild a few pieces of the sound code. So go to the ALSA website and get:
- alsa-lib
- alsa-utils
- alsa-driver
For each of these, do your standard
./configure make make install
Reboot, and you should be all set.
