50 Start-Up<br />
If YaST is unable to detect your sound card automatically, proceed as follows:<br />
1 Click Add to open a dialog in which to select a sound card vendor and model.<br />
Refer to your sound card documentation for the information required. Find a<br />
reference list <strong>of</strong> sound cards supported by ALSA with their corresponding sound<br />
modules in /usr/share/doc/packages/alsa/cards.txt and at<br />
http://www.alsa-project.org/~goemon/. After making your selection,<br />
click Next.<br />
2 In Setup Dialog, choose the configuration level in the first setup screen. With<br />
Quick Automatic Setup, you are not required to go through any <strong>of</strong> the further<br />
configuration steps and no sound test is performed. The sound card is configured<br />
automatically. With Normal Setup, you can adjust the output volume and play a<br />
test sound. Advanced setup with possibility to change options allows you to<br />
customize the sound card options manually.<br />
In this dialog, there is also a shortcut to joystick configuration. Click it and select<br />
the joystick type in the following dialog. Click Next to continue.<br />
3 In Sound Card Volume, test your sound configuration and make adjustments to<br />
the volume. You should start at about ten percent to avoid damage to your<br />
speakers or hearing. A test sound should be audible when you click Test. If you<br />
cannot hear anything, increase the volume. Press Continue to complete the sound<br />
configuration. The volume setting is then saved.<br />
If you use a Creative Soundblaster Live or AWE sound card, copy SF2 sound<br />
fonts to your hard disk from the original Soundblaster driver CD-ROM with Install<br />
Sound Fonts. The sound fonts are saved in the directory /usr/share/sfbank/<br />
creative/.<br />
For playback <strong>of</strong> MIDI files, check Start Sequencer. This way, the modules for sequencer<br />
support are loaded along with the sound modules.<br />
