Using the new updates to the various sound cards, the Red Hat Linux 6.0 distribution ships with more drivers. These drivers are shipped "as is" meaning they may work well out of the box, they may need some tweaking on your part, or they may just not work at all.
When possible, we have tested these cards, but sound cards are notorious for being finicky (i.e. what works here, may not work for you). In trying to help organize these lists, the cards will be first listed by card name, and then sorted by driver.
Note: Hardware vendors like to re-use product names on different hardware as they have trademarks on certain words or they are trying to establish a "brand-name." This overuse of brand-names can be very confusing to the consumer in that one may have purchased something that looks to be supported but has a slightly different name (an added letter or a plus or some other little item.) Most of the time these changes indicate that the hardware is very different, and thus will not be supported. When considering the items below, we have tried to be explicit on what items are covered. If it is not listed, then it is probably not supported (though it might be compatible and supported in the future).
If you find the terms "Tier 1", "Tier 2", etc confusing , you will want to look at the following sections for more information on what we mean:
These cards are listed in the sndconfig tool. If you have feedback on how well these drivers worked, or if you needed to change certain parameters, please send us feedback. We cannot promise to answer any questions due to the amount of e-mail recieved at this address.
Many cards that are listed as clones or are listed as "compatible" the cards listed as Tier 1 or 2. This compatibility may be done through software emulation that the Open Source community does not have access to.
In the following, the parameters show the arguments that would be used with modprobe or in /etc/conf.modules. Documentation is relative to /usr/src/linux/ and is contained in the kernel-source package.
