sound and linux?

[randy turner]

ok what kernel version are you running?
also when you compile your new kernel from source
does it come up ok and speak ok like it should?
if so
you have configured your speech in
if not
do a cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
hit the down errow until you find speakup
type y, then choose your synth
down at the bottom it ask what default synth that you want to choose
put your synth in there instead of none
type the escape key
go down to sound
type y
chose alsa
it will give you a list of sound drivers
chose your sound driver
there are a few other choices under there that you should choose
pcm is one of them
anyway on any of that menu you can hit ? and most of the time
it will tell you what it is for and why or if you need it.
so where are you now?
