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 />

2.5 System<br />

This group <strong>of</strong> modules is designed to help you manage your system. All modules in<br />

this group are system-related and serve as valuable tools for ensuring that your system<br />

runs properly and your data is managed efficiently.
