Rapture2k3 0 Posted January 24, 2004 Hello all, I'm a COMPLETE newbie to *unix systems, but me being a programmer, I figured I better learn something other than Microcult Winblows. So I downloaded RH9, and installedit. Computer Specs: Compaq S4500NX (A.K.A. Comcrap) nForce 2 (chipset) AMD 3000+ (Only good thing on the motherboard) 1 gig PC2700 DDR (woot) nVidia GeForce 4 IGP (integrated) 2x 120gb HD's (Maxtor) First problem, I was unable to get the integrated Ethernet card to work. First solution, buy new NIC card. (worked) Second problem, I was unable to get the sound to work. Second solution, buy new sound card. I bought an Audigy 2 NX (USB) and I cannot find drivers for RH9. Any suggestions? Creative labs does not have drivers for linux systems... So here I am. Please keep in mind, I'm a newbie to Linux. Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted January 24, 2004 Gosh, this is a tough one for me.. Soundblaster usually works real well with Linux, but you'll have to tell me more about the usb part. What does that mean exactly? Share this post Link to post

SoulNothing 0 Posted March 12, 2004 hey im a total noob as well after 12 distros finally got redhat to work i have an audigy but at first it didnt play i had to work through sndconfig in the shell it blows that creative doesnt have linux drivers maybe its also the fact that its a usb that might be the main issue Share this post Link to post
