7 tristate "Sound card support"
9 If you have a sound card in your computer, i.e. if it can say more
10 than an occasional beep, say Y. Be sure to have all the information
11 about your sound card and its configuration down (I/O port,
12 interrupt and DMA channel), because you will be asked for it.
14 You want to read the Sound-HOWTO, available from
15 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. General information about
16 the modular sound system is contained in the files
17 <file:Documentation/sound/oss/Introduction>. The file
18 <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.OSS> contains some slightly
19 outdated but still useful information as well. Newer sound
20 driver documentation is found in <file:Documentation/sound/alsa/*>.
22 If you have a PnP sound card and you want to configure it at boot
23 time using the ISA PnP tools (read
24 <http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/>), then you need to
25 compile the sound card support as a module and load that module
26 after the PnP configuration is finished. To do this, choose M here
27 and read <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.modules>; the module
28 will be called soundcore.
30 I'm told that even without a sound card, you can make your computer
31 say more than an occasional beep, by programming the PC speaker.
32 Kernel patches and supporting utilities to do that are in the pcsp
33 package, available at <ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/pcsp/>.
