sndconfig - configure sound card for use with Linux kernel
modules
SYNOPSIS
sndconfig {--help,--noprobe,--noautoconfig}
DESCRIPTION
sndconfig sets up the necessary configuration files to use
a sound card on a Red Hat system. If PnP support is com
piled in, by default sndconfig will do an initial probe
for PnP sound cards using the pnpdump utility. If the
--noprobe option is given this step will be skipped. The
user will be notified if any cards were found. Otherwise
the user must pick the card type from a menu. Then the
user must choose the I/O port, IRQ, and DMA settings for
the sound card. These must be known ahead of time and
depend upon the jumper settings of the sound card. For
PnP cards, the program will determine settings for the
card; if the --noautoconfig option is given the user can
choose the values which will be programmed into the PnP
device. There is no guarantee that the values entered do
not conflict with an existing non-PnP or PnP device. The
user must make sure these types of conflicts do not occur.
OPTIONS
--help Print a usage message on standard output and exit
successfully.
--noprobe
No probe will be made for PnP cards, and the PnP
configuration files will not be changed.
--noautoconfig
No autoconfiguration of PnP cards will be done; the
user will be prompted for settings.
